Synthetic wine cork, made from silicone.
Diameter 22 mm
Length 44 mm
Several advantages over natural corks, including:
• No corked taste
• No crumbling or dust from the cork
• No leakage
• Will not break as the cork is pulled from the bottle<
• Bottles can be stored vertically as well as horizontally
Allow for 15 - 20 mm headspace. Use a sturdy corker, as synthetic corks are much harder to compress than natural corks. The corking jaws should be made from metal or nylon.
