- Nowadays, there are various forms of sealing for wine bottles. Generally, wines using metal bottle caps are very cheap, and most good quality wines use corks.
- Corks are natural items made from the bark of an oak tree. They have excellent elasticity and resilience, and can be completely sealed when compressed into a bottle. The small gaps in the oak material allow trace amounts of air to enter the bottle. Don't underestimate this slow, subtle oxidation process, it is the main reason to ensure that the quality of the wine in the bottle is stable and gradually becomes mellow and aromatic. However, when the cork is dried, the elasticity will decrease due to shrinkage. This is why the wine must be placed horizontally to keep the cork moisturizing to preserve the wine. Nowadays, artificial cork stoppers are also manufactured to replace natural cork stoppers, but in general, most high-priced wines use natural cork stoppers. Because corks have a lifespan of around 30 years, older wines can be preserved. Corks play a key role in the quality of a bottle of wine.
