Re: Cork boiling!
In desperation ,don't ignore the bottle banks I have had the pick of what I want especially at festive seasons. Look for the bins where you can lift the lid off! Bin diver Tony

Re: Cork boiling!
My lad recons they shift about 300 bottles of prosecco over a weekend, and they have the real Cork stoppers.
Once I get some I will ship some out to whoever might want them. Just let me know how many and I will do a list.
Thanks
BB

Re: Cork boiling!
BB,
I'm on my third bottle of wine, they are all composite. I couldn't bring myself to buy a bottle of prosecco.
I would like a cork please but not if it's composite, it's to repair a cork handle on an old rod and needs to be natural cork to blend in :-)

Re: Cork boiling!
Nigel, how much cork do you need? For small patches on cork rod handles I save up the cork bungs from Single Malt and Armagnac bottles - they often have a plastic top but still always seem to be solid cork. I have about half a dozen at the moment and you’d be more than welcome to a couple.Nigel Rainton wrote: ↑Thu Nov 14, 2019 6:51 pm BB,

Re: Cork boiling!
You need to look for a Portuguese wine Nigel. They have proper corks in them. They do after all produce more than 50% of the World's cork.Nigel Rainton wrote: ↑Thu Nov 14, 2019 6:51 pm BB,

Exactly! Start Christmas early I say. Some very nice reds from the Douro and Lisboa regions as well if you can find them.Nigel Rainton wrote: ↑Fri Nov 15, 2019 1:28 pm PeteD
