1+1 Wine Corks, A Grade

I have ordered 2'000 of these corks. When I showed them to the winemaker he already told me "they look risky", so I went to show them to a specialist and he again said "risky". Being extra careful I ordered now new ones from the specialist but I still wonder if these ones are safe to use for a later batch. What makes my case special is, that the bottleneck is not completely round inside, so when you put the cork in it, a tiny bit of wine can get up to 15mm up and around the cork. What do you guys think?

Using these in some white wine that’ll be drank in the next couple years

Great product!

I've used these corks for several years and have always been very satisfied. The last batch I received, however, has a lot of corks where the disc on the end has a notch or groove or chip on the edge which defeats the purpose of the slice being there. If the end disc doesn't seal all the way around, then the wine is exposed to the material above it.

I have used these corks for 6 years now for wine aged from 1 to 5 years and have not had one bad bottle. They go in with a two lever hand corker, but a lot easier and better with a floor corker. I usually toss out only 2 or 3 from every 100.

I needed corks to fit standard bottles. These are too big and I have almost 100 of the same size already. I needed smaller ones for a regular size bottle. I tried to return them but shipping is going to cost $7.20 to return. What number do I need for a standard wine bottle? I can't put $40 out to continue getting the wrong size cork.

[Reply from WIDGETCO: Sorry to hear the fit was not as expected. A standard wine bottle should be 750ml with a 3/4" (19mm diameter opening). These corks are designed for the bottles. If fit is not ideal, it is often the corker or the technique (corking needs to be a single quick motion). If there is still a problem, then we recommend a natural cork can compress slightly better. There also exist narrower corks which we do not offer but you may try searching #8 wine corks as they might be better suited for your particular bottle. In our experience, we find they don't seal as well. We are happy to provide a refund upon return.]
