North Mountain Supply #9 Natural Agglomerated Corks 15/16" x 1 3/4" - Bag of 100

This composite cork is ok if the wine is used in less than 3 months Here’s what happens. Bottle your red wine. Store it horizontally. The wine begins to permeate the cork. It goes unnoticed for about 3 months. At 6 months you can begin to see the darkness in the cork. I did nothing. At 12 months I test opened a bottle with an ordinary common cork screw. The cork broke as seen in the photo. What you see is the top 75% of the cork. 25% of the cork stayed in the bottle. It’s still in the empty bottle. The wine has been poured onto the lawn. Ok seems very bad, but. You could stand your bottles up at 3 months. The cork will not, maybe, dry out as it is permeated with wine. So this composite cork, very inexpensive might work. For me, having, now, poured out many bottles onto the lawn will buy a solid cork made of one piece, not composed of tiny pieces. Lesson learned. When folks say “experience counts” I get it. Also “you get what you pay for”.

Love these corks, no issue so far but they are already way more reliable than the other styles of cork that I have used before. I'll be buying these again for sure. They are easy to get in the bottle and everything seals completely, no leaks and so far no cork taint.

Super nice. Perfect to put on fishing rod in a fee balance rod system to hang the rod on a balance

They work well with my floor corker and don’t have any problems removing them when uncorking. They are not the best grade so I wouldn’t trust them with wine that will be stored for more than a year. This is great for affordable corking for wines that will be consumed within the year.

Was just what I expected
