The Traditional Fisherman's Forum

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

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,

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 :-)

As soon as my lad gets some to me you will be first on the list sir.

Thanks

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.

Phil,

Pm sent.

Are they better boiled or poached

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.

Thanks for that tip, I'll buy a bottle of Port :-)

Exactly! Start Christmas early I say. Some very nice reds from the Douro and Lisboa regions as well if you can find them.
