(25) NATURAL TAPERED STANDARD WINE BREWING BOTTLE CORKS 23mm/18mm Description

These natural agglomerated tapered corks are designed to help you seal wine bottles securely, making bottling and storing homemade wine simpler and more reliable. The conical shape helps the cork start easily and tighten as it is inserted, giving a firm fit and helping to preserve flavour and freshness. Made from agglomerated cork (crumbled natural cork formed into a solid stopper), they offer a practical balance of consistency and traditional cork performance. They're suitable for manual corking or use with a corker, and are intended to be easy to insert while still providing a dependable seal. Ideal for home brewing, winemaking and rebottling, these corks can also be used to reseal opened bottles where a tapered fit is preferred. They are a handy choice for anyone who wants a clean, professional-looking finish when bottling their wine. To prepare the corks for fitting, soften them briefly with heat so they compress more easily and seat properly in the bottle neck. After corking, allow the cork to settle before storing bottles on their side to help maintain a consistent seal over time. Usage instructions: 1. Soak corks in hot water for around 3 minutes, or steam over boiling water with a cover. 2. Insert using hand pressure or a corker. 3. Stand bottles upright for at least one day, then store horizontally. 4. Check after 2-3 days and replace any corks if leaks are found.
