Occasionally, we are asked about corks.  Traditional punched corks may cost around $0.08 apiece.  There is concern about such corks dryiing out and losing their elasticity.  We have chosen to invest in corks that cost $0.19 apiece.  They have "microspheres" within them to enable uniform permeability and provide enhanced elasticity regardless of moisture content.  This is why our bottles can be stored upright with the corks dry.  Our corks are also produced in a sanitized method that prevents any off-aromas such as "corky" or "musty" from contaminating the flavor of the wine.  With so many wines available to buyers, we feel it is imperative that every bottle we produce maintains consistent quality.
