Wine Corks, Capsules & Stoppers

The closure is the last decision of the vintage and the one that decides how the wine ages. Corks, capsules, stoppers and the corkers that drive them home are all here.

Natural cork is still the traditional choice and we stock Ref 1 natural corks for wine bottles, Diam technical corks where you want consistency bottle to bottle, and agglomerated corks for wine you will drink young. Twin Top and purple synthetic corks are the practical middle ground, and Neutro at 23.5 x 44mm is the workhorse size. Not sure which? Read agglomerated or natural corks.

Taper corks are a different job. They go into demijohns, flagons and jars, and we carry them in natural and composite from 20mm through to 42mm, plus mixed assorted packs if you are matching an odd bottle.

Capsules finish the bottle. Heat shrink PVC in gold satin, matt and satin black, burgundy with a gold stripe and clear, in 30 x 60mm, 31 x 55mm and 35 x 65mm, in packs of 25 and 100. A hair dryer will shrink them; you do not need special equipment.

For driving corks, the Ferrari pedestal corkers come in standard 750ml, magnum, MAXI, MINI and ECO. A pedestal compresses the cork evenly and does not tire your hands out at bottle forty. Our guide to bottling homemade wine walks through the whole job.

Frequently asked questions

What size cork fits a standard wine bottle?

A standard 750 ml cork-finish wine bottle takes a straight cork about 24 mm wide. That is wider than the neck, because the corker squeezes the cork as it goes in. Our Neutro corks are 23.5 x 44 mm, and our flint claret bottle takes 24 x 45 mm corks. Screw cap (BVS) bottles do not take a cork at all.

Natural, Diam, agglomerated or synthetic: which cork should I use?

Natural cork, such as our Ref 1, is the traditional choice for wine you plan to age. Diam corks are a technical cork made for consistency from bottle to bottle. Agglomerated corks, made from cork granules, suit wine you will drink young. Synthetic corks are a practical everyday option. See agglomerated or natural corks.

Do I need a corker?

For straight wine corks, yes. A hand corker is fine for a few dozen bottles. A pedestal corker compresses the cork evenly and is the one to buy if you bottle every vintage. Taper corks and bar-top stoppers push in by hand. See cappers and corkers and how to bottle homemade wine.
