#8 Straight Corks, Premium Crafting Natural Wine Corks, DIY Craft Wine Stoppers for Bottling of Wines Homemade Wine Making – 7/8″ x 1 3/4″, Bag of 60

Don’t let the easy to remove rating sway you too much- that is more a function of my corkscrew which gets bent out of shape pretty easily, and doesn’t want to pull corks straight out.Made of real live honest to goodness cork. I got the #8 size, since the case of Pinot just bottled isn’t really built for aging much more than a year. It’s drinking great right now, and hopefully it will coalesce into an even more tasty wine over the 12-18 months. If it was a super stellar juice kit and worthy of extended aging, the #9 size would be my choice.There was an issue which necessitated a couple days of airing the corks out in my drafty front faux enclosed porch. The plastic bubble envelope they arrived in was covered in an annoying scent, like cologne or perfume. Normally that’s not that big a deal (numerous other items arrived with a similar scent clinging to the box or envelope), but once I pulled the plastic bag with the corks packaged in it out, I got a big whiff of dryer sheets. You know that cloud of perfumey grossness that smacks you in the nose when you’re in the red circle store or those wallwart places walking toward the alltidecheerbounce detergent aisle? Yeah, like that. Yo Amazon, please cordon off the smelly products and keep them far far away from anything that’s food or is coming in contact with my food and drink. Thanks ?
