First Quality Natural Wine Corks

Very happy. Good quality.

My order arrived sooner than I expected, good package with no sign of damage, thanks

Attractive and perfect fit nice I do about 70 bottles of blueberry wine I’ll be ordering some more soon

I always use the first quality corks from WidgetCo. I buy them 100 at a time and get free shipping which helps of set the cost that is reasonable anyway.

Don't be swayed by the comments of Renae G. (below) ... she was doing something wrong. Our first batch of 1000 were flawless. They work great in a mechanical (Italian) corker if you first pause in the compression phase and then seat the cork. We let the bottles set upright overnight before shelving them. We have had no leakage. Some of the corks might break when opening the bottle if you are being hasty or if you are using a substandard tool. These corks will work for you.

Using these in Cab Sauv Syrah Carm for long aging

Needed them right away. Paid for shipping in 3days. Bottled 70,corks and compressed well, went in easily. Noted comment from WidgetCo on 19mm opening of wine bottles. Had friend machine plastic plug at 19mm. If it goes into a wine bottle w/ room to spare, I wouldn't use that bottle.

Corks are perfect for my project.

The First Quality wine corks that I received are, in fact, a great quality product. They seat perfectly, and easily into my wine bottles.

My first order and it won't be my last. Very pleased with the product and delivery time.

Good product and fast delivery to another continent!

Great product....good quality.

I was expecting a better cork...especially for the price and from the other reviews. We use a semi-automatic corker and bottled about 65 cases of one of our popular dry reds. Several of the corks leaked wine on the bottom of the box and some were so bad that we had to pull the cork out and re-cork. This was on one of our more expensive dry reds so it was very disappointing. The corks seemed brittle and broke very easily...you could actually break them with your hands. Not sure I just got a bad bag or what but with our production of about 1200 cases a year I cant afford to have this kind of problem, especially with our higher end wines. I will continue to search for a good cork supplier for our wines.

Reply from WIDGETCO: Thank you for the feedback. Despite the best production and quality control efforts, there is always a small chance of a batch of natural corks being too dry. If wine is leaking while upright, we suggest investigating the wine fill line which may be too high a level. We encourage customers to test corks for leakage and breakage by installing cork and allowing bottle to remain upright for 4 hours. Then set bottle on side for a day. Remove cork to complete test. We do offer a satisfaction guarantee so if the product is not satisfactory they can be returned for a full refund. Dry and brittle corks are rare but can occur and we are happy to exchange. Thank you again for feedback.

After trying other corks, I have settled on these First Quality corks as my preferred cork. We bottle about 500 bottles every season. I use a floor corker and have been very happy on well they perform. I have tried some other ones and they were mushy and did not want to insert properly and would break apart when uncorking. I typically let my wines age at least 3 to 4 years and some are around even after 7 years. These have performed very well and have not had any wine go bad due to cork taint. The only suggestion would be to package them in 100, instead of 1000 in one huge bag.

I have purchased these corks in the past and I think are superior quality and treated ready to use, to better preserve your wine I will highly recommend to buy these corks. Really outstanding!

Best product I ever came across!

I did not choose these corks to be placed in wine bottles as they are intended to be used for. I purchased these corks simply to make decorative ornaments for myself and family members. Out of the 25 purchased, I was able to find only 6 that were worth using because of the big holes, gouges, splits and missing pieces across the stamped print and elsewhere.

[From WIDGETCO: Sorry to hear you were not happy with the corks. The cracks and cervices do shrink when bottled. Our customer service team will help you further. Thank you for the feedback.'

Love them.

Excellent product

I was so pleased with this corks, no soaking required and worked like a charm in my floor corker. No little cork parts floating in my hard worked for wine, just the perfect corks and the only ones I'll ever buy again.

Great fast service. Good quality materials

Second Order. I ordered new corks this time instead of used. I use them to make beautiful wreaths as gifts. They were marked beautifully and shipped quickly. Arrived in just a few days.

Finally, real corks in small quantities for the enthusiasts!

These were extremely high quality corks. I was a little leery at first due to the large circumference of the corks, but they went into the bottles without any issues. The seal should be even better due to their size. I am very happy with this purchase.

I'm new to wine making, but one thing I know is a good quality cork is important to preserve a quality wine. These seem to fit the bill, I tested one in an empty bottle with a corker I had purchased separately. They compressed well and slid into the bottleneck sealing it perfectly. Only time will tell how good that seal is, but the corks were smooth, clean, decorative and I have no worries about them spoiling the wine.

Excellent delivery time. Product is easy to insert (I suggest using a floor corker for a professional look). No defects seen in the product.

Great product, fast delivery, very easy to place corks in bottles with corker. Would order again.

Price was good, delivery fast, however the quality of the First corks seems a little less then Firsts I have bought from another source. Overall satisfied.

From WidgetCo: Rest assured, we will work to correct this.

What a fast shipment and could not have asked for better product. Crafted all weekend and may need to order more soon.

First time purchaser. Order was shipped quickly, and I was very pleased with the service and followup.

First time buying from WidgetCo. My order of premium corks came quickly and the corks were exactly as described.

Good quality and prompt shipping.

The shipping was fast but when I web to use them, they were to dry and broke and cracked easy, not a quality bottling cork.

[Reply from WIDGETCO: Thank you for the feedback. We are happy to replace any corks that might seem dry. It is a rare occurrence that should have shown on a quality inspection. Sorry for any inconvenience.]

Arrived quickly and as ordered. Can't wait to use them.

Very good quality.

Highest quality product AND service. The only problem is that the corks came with a cluster of grapes printed on them. I will have to sand the image off to make them work for my project. Otherwise, excellent product and service

I purchased corks and they didn't disappoint. Order came quickly and correctly. Would definitely order again from WidgetCo.

You can't beat their cork nor their service. A trusted place to buy high quality and fantastic service. Highly recommend

Very nice product and fast shipping reasonable pricing and over all great service. I will be back.

Great product, fast delivery.
