The basic situation of wine stoppers

Today, we understand the situation of wine stoppers. When the wine was invented, it was filled with earthenware pots in the Middle East and continental Europe. At that time, a simple lid was used. With the advent of glass bottles, the development of bottle stoppers began. In the beginning, people used cloth, cotton, wood, or even rubber as cork stoppers, but they were not ideal. Eventually, it was found by chance that the bark of a banyan tree (a kind of oak tree) could seal well. With the advancement of processing technology, this original bark became the wine of choice for wine stoppers. It was only later discovered that the solid wood plug was not a true seal, or that there was a small amount of air molecules passing through the fibers of the cork. The gaps are in contact with the wine, causing the wine to change very slowly. Of course, the result of this change must be felt for more than a few years. Therefore, high-quality cork is very expensive, some as high as one euro and more expensive than some.
At the same time, since cork is a natural material, it is inevitable that there will be some quality problems caused by the influence of natural factors. For example, the density of some parts of the cork is not enough to cause the leakage of wine, or simply the whole bottle of wine is deteriorated. There are residual disinfectants that make the wine taste detrimental, and global statistics account for about 5% of the total wine caused by mussels.
As the cost of cork is getting higher and higher, because traditionally the age of the tree is more than 50 years, the skins that are harvested are only suitable for making wine corks. In the life of oaks, there are usually only a dozen useful harvests. For some wines that are not positioned too high, the use of pure oak plugs is too wasteful, and without any price competitiveness, some middle- and low-end products use plugs that are recombined with glue from crushed scrap, some of which are two. With pure wood chips, in the middle with wood synthesis. In the last ten years, silicone rubber plugs have appeared. For some red and white wines that do not need ageing, they must be freshly brewed. Silicone plugs are a good choice because they are too wasteful to use wood. Too low.
The origin of the cork is in continental Europe, so basically the higher-ranking species all remain in Europe. The New World is generally difficult to use. In order to solve this problem, the New World-producing region represented by Australia has developed a wrought cap instead. Cork stoppers are a great challenge for cork stoppers, but there are also some disadvantages of twisting the caps. For example: no need to use a wine knife, lose some of the fascinating delusions and expectations during the service, and reduce the fun of wine. This is the lack of ideological and cultural aspects, and because the seal is too good, the residual sulfur dioxide in the wine is difficult to break down, the wine may have odor, of course, the bottle will be improved after opening.
As consumers, we must know a little bit about it. At least, we must use plugs to make plugs. We certainly can't talk about grades. We use silicone plugs, not for ageing.
