 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).
The chief cause of cork taint is the presence of 2,4,6-trichloroanisole (TCA) in the wine.

 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.
The synthetic stoppers also do not dry out and shrink so the bottles do not have to be on their sides to prevent the wine from oxidizing.

 What is Cork?
Natural cork is used as the cork closure since it allows the wine to "live" and mature in the bottle.
Cork, known primarily for its use as bottle stoppers, comes from the bark (suberose parenchyma) of the cork oak.
They can also be branded or printed with the bottler's name and logo.

 Fly Angler's OnLine "Bamboo Rods Part 14"
Cork has been in general use since the 15th century and is seen in a variety of products.
The best quality cork isn't produced until the 5th or 6th harvesting; for some trees the best quality isn't until the 8th or 9th harvest.
So, you can see the supply is slow to respond for things like the increased interest in fly fishing (because of ' the Movie') or the flourishing wine industry — the two current combatants for the good stuff.

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.
