CORK STOPPER //

Three natural characteristics form the basis of its unique role as a wine cork: its elasticity, compressibility, and impermeability.

No other material has ever allowed gas exchange between the wine and the outside environment to the extent necessary to ensure optimal aging without the risk of oxidation. It is a product of the highest quality, perfect for bottling wine.

Lafitte Cork offers a wide range of sizes, surface finishes, and customization options for natural cork stoppers to meet all customer needs. 100% of our natural cork stopper production undergoes the MaxClean Evolution process.

— Cork stoppers should be used no later than 6 months after shipment;
— Cork stoppers must be stored in:
> clean , well-ventilated, and odor-free;
> maintained at a temperature between 15°C and 25°C;
> with a relative humidity between 50% and 65% (at levels above 65%, there is a risk of irreversible microbial contamination).
— Use standard bottles;
— Regular inspection of the corking machine’s clamps, which must always be clean and prevented from rubbing against each other (as this causes indentations in the cork);
— The room temperature at the time of bottling must be between 15°C and 25°C;
— Vacuum-seal or CO₂-seal;
— Observe the recommended fill level for the bottles;
— Clean the equipment every day before and after bottling;
— Do not compress the plug to less than 2/3 of its diameter (this causes structural damage, poor recovery, and leaks);
— The stopper must be flush with the neck of the bottle, within ±0.5 mm;
— Bottles should not be laid on their sides immediately after bottling. They must be kept upright for at least 3 minutes to allow the cork to regain its shape and ensure a secure seal;
— Storage and transportation of the product in accordance with regulatory standards.
