100 count Standard #9 45x24mm Natural Cork

• Premium Quality: Made from whole natural cork, the most eco - friendly choice for wine preservation. • Enhanced Sealing: Coated with a water - based cork extract to fill lenticels and improve the seal. • Perfect for Aging: Recommended for super - premium wines and those aged over two years. Acquamark is a whole, natural cork stopper designed to meet the needs of super - premium wines. Whole, natural corks are the most environmentally - friendly stoppers, and produce the top - quality seal needed to preserve fine wines through long aging. The Acquamark cork goes beyond this normally high standard, applying a water - based coating of cork extract which binds to the stopper's surface, filling the lenticels and enhancing the sealing potential. BSG HandCraft recommends the Acquamark for super - premium wines, wines that will be aged more than two years, or wherever the classic style of a whole, natural cork is desired. Most bottles tolerate a range of cork dimensions and still produce an acceptable seal. Wider corks create a tighter seal, but may be difficult to insert with small, handheld corkers. Micro - agglomerated corks compress less easily than whole, natural corks, and a smaller diameter agglomerated cork may have the same fit as a wider whole cork. Longer corks reduce the initial headspace in the bottle, and can also affect changes in ullage during long aging.

These natural cork stoppers are great for wine enthusiasts who want to age super - premium wines for over two years. The stoppers are 45 mm long and 24 mm in diameter. They're suitable for sealing wine bottles in home cellars or professional wineries, ensuring your wine ages beautifully and retains its quality.
