| | Cork (material) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Cork's elasticity combined with its near-impermeability makes it suitable as a material for bottle stoppers, especially for wine bottles. | | | Cork demand has increased due to a larger proportion of wine being sealed with cork rather than being sold in bulk. | | | Cork material is a subset of generic cork tissue, harvested for commercial use primarily from the Cork Oak tree, Quercus suber, with Portugal producing most cork worldwide. |

| | WE Cork Flooring from Longleaf Lumber |
| | After corks for wine bottles are removed from the bark, the remaining material is ground up, bound with urethane binders and molded to obtain the desired density under pressure and heat. | | | Because cork is a wood product, it is subject to the normal behavior of expansion and contraction, but these changes are less noticeable than those that occur with wood flooring. | | | Cork is also anti-microbial and fights the development of mildew. |

| | Cork and the cork oak system |
| | Cork stoppers meant that wines could be efficiently stored for long periods of time and transported over great distances. | | | But in the second half of the seventeenth century, a French monk named Perignon disovered the special qualities of cork for wine sealing and a new era began for Quercus suber. | | | A second aspect is the clear, demonstrated importance of the cork industry in maintaining the ecological stability of the fragile and threatened Mediterranean ecosystem. |

| | Cork taint - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Cork taint is a broad term referring to a set of undesirable smells or tastes found in a bottle of wine, especially spoilage that can only be detected after bottling, aging and opening. | | | In almost all cases of corked wine the wine's native aromas are reduced significantly, and a very tainted wine is completely undrinkable (though harmless). | | | Improvements in cork and winemaking methodology continue to lower the incidence, but the media attention given to cork taint has created a controversy in winemaking, with traditional cork growers on one side and powerful marketers of newer synthetic closures (such as Alcan's Stelvin® cap) on the other. |
