Supplies Cork
Posted on Sunday, January 11th, 2009 at 2:18 pmHow do I fit a cork into a Wine Bottle?
I have a set of new wine bottles and new corks (bought from a brewing supply company) but how do I fit the cork into the wine bottle? Is it just a matter of brute force or is there a trick to make this easier? Perhaps I am simply not strong enough... The cork is not tapered, it is the same all the way up and very hard. I have tried shaving a piece off to get it started but even then the cork is simply too strong to push into the bottle any further than that. Thanks
You'll need to purchase a corker. There are many types. I've included a link to one company that sells them. Hand corkers work fine but they aren't as easy to use as stand corkers. If you are bottling a lot of wine I would invest in a nice stand corker.
