Finest Quality - Silicone Treated Corks
from £2.20
These natural wine bottle corks are of the standard size, 38mm by 22mm, used by home winemakers. They have not been filled. They have been washed in a hydrogen peroxide solution that disinfects and cleans deep into the cork. They have then been wax-treated to seal in the moisture, to protect the surface and to make them easier to insert into the bottle. For the best results we recommend that these are not soaked and that they are inserted using a good quality corker such as the Easy, Gilda or a Floor Standing model.

Bench Top Corker
£55.00More detail and information
This is a single-lever bench top corker suitable for both enthusiastic amateur and professional winemakers. With the lever raised simply place a bottle on the platform and a cork between the jaws. As the lever is lowered the platform is initially locked vertically, the cork is then compressed and finally the plunger pushes it into the bottle to the pre-set depth.
The overall height, with the lever down, is 69cm. The stand cross member is removable so that this corker can be stored flat. -
Three Lever Guilda Corker
£18.95More detail and information
With the main handles spread apart a cork is inserted between the 4 moving jaws in the centre nylon housing. Then as the handles are brought together the cork is compressed so that it can easily be inserted into the wine bottle. Just sit the corker on the wine bottle, hold the main handles together with one hand and push down the third (metal) handle with the other and the cork will pop in!
A few tips about corking. Always use silicone or waxed corks, as these do not need to be soaked. And always stand the bottle on the floor so that you can give a good push and the job is so much easier! -
The Easy Corker
£16.99More detail and information
With the metal handles up, and the corker placed on top of the wine bottle, a cork is inserted into the slot provided. Simply lowering the twin handles causes a spring in the main nylon body to grip the bottleneck, and at the same time the plunger pushes the cork into the bottle.
No wonder they call this the Easy Corker!
