Storage of stoppers

  • At JGR CORK we can suggest the most appropriate cork size by studying the internal profile of your bottle neck, the characteristics of the wine and the bottling conditions
  • We advise you to order your corks for immediate use, not exceeding 6 months after delivery date
  • Corks should be stored in their original packaging in a well-ventilated place with controlled temperature between 15°C and 25°C and humidity between 50% and 70%.
  • Do not leave the boxes and/or bags open with the stoppers

Bottling conditions and equipment maintenance

  • Ensure there is no dust before bottling
  • Ensure that the cork is quietly compressed to a diameter of not less than 15.5 mm
  • Ensure that the cork is inserted as soon as possible
  • For bottlenecks with standard measurements, the stopper must be inserted up to 1 mm below the top of the neck
  • The degree of moisture inside the neck of the bottle should be minimised
  • The space between the stopper and the wine must be at least 15 mm at a temperature of 20 °C
  • Do not leave the stoppers in the machine feeder to avoid dust
  • Always use corks with a surface treatment suitable for the type of beverage you are bottling
  • It is necessary to make vacuum to avoid internal pressures
