Cork stoppers

You have several choices:

• SELO1 and SELO2 are the most basic and budget-friendly options. They come with a standard TCA level, making them suitable for wines that don’t require lengthy aging. Great if you want to save money while still enjoying a quality cork stopper for your wine bottle.


• UNIQ2, UNIQ3, UNIQ4, and UNIQ5 are a bit pricier, crafted from high-quality cork granules. They provide improved sealing and feature lower TCA levels, making them suitable for all kinds of still wines.


• UNIQ4+ and UNIQ5+ are the premium selections. They have nearly negligible TCA levels (under 0.5 ng/L), ensuring that the taste and aroma of the wine remain unaffected. Perfect for any kind of still wine, especially for those with higher standards.

If you need a stopper for sparkling wine, consider these models:

• EXPO1 and EXPO2 are the most straightforward and budget-friendly stoppers for sparkling wines, featuring a standard TCA level. Their consistent structure makes them a suitable choice for wines that don't require extensive shelf aging.


• VEGA1, VEGA2, VEGA3, and VEGA4 are slightly higher in price but offer enhanced quality and lower TCA levels. They are made from microgranules, which consist of very fine cork particles. This design helps the stopper seal the bottle more effectively, which is vital for sparkling wines that must withstand increased internal pressure.

TCA (trichloroanisole) is a chemical compound that can occasionally lead to a subtle "corked" flavor in wine. But don't be concerned; even if this occurs, the wine remains safe to drink. TCA only impacts the aroma, not your health.

The lower the TCA, the less likely the wine will develop a corked taste. So, if this aspect is crucial for you, opt for stoppers with low or almost nonexistent TCA levels.

All our stoppers undergo thorough TCA testing.

Absolutely! Natural cork offers numerous benefits that surpass those of plastic:

1. A cork stopper allows the wine to breathe – a small amount of air seeps into the bottle, promoting maturation. The flavors develop appropriately and become richer. In contrast, plastic stoppers completely block airflow, essentially "locking" the oxidation process, which hinders the wine's flavor development.


2. Natural cork is more adaptable – it conforms better to the bottle's neck, creating a tighter seal and preventing leaks. Plastic can lose its seal over time.


3. Cork significantly outperforms plastic regarding sustainability – it comes from renewable resources, is biodegradable, and can be recycled. Plastic stoppers are more challenging to recycle and have a larger carbon footprint.

Yes, its flexibility allows it to fit snugly to the bottle's neck. This provides a secure seal and shields the wine from excess air, preventing oxidation that could spoil its taste and aroma. For preventing leaks and maintaining quality, a cork stopper is among the best options available!

It's recommended to store them horizontally. This keeps the stopper damp, preventing it from drying out and contracting. If the stopper dries, it can lose its seal, leading to oxidation and flavor loss.

It’s also vital to keep in mind that wine should be stored in a cool, dark location with a stable temperature – ideally between 10 and 15°C. Humidity should hover around 70%, which further aids in maintaining the stopper’s condition.
