I knew cork came from trees, but didn't know they were oaks.
Cool IOTD, Bruce. Thx.

Requiring a government permit to get cut down is a good evolutionary strategy.

I have consumed way more than my share of wine over the last 60 years and worked in the industry for a good part of those.
I have pulled too many corks by far and now regard the usage of screw top closures a great plus in my current shopping. |

Disappoint. This thread is up 12 hours and nobody's made any cork soaker jokes yet.

You got it right, it's a relatively small country compared to the other cork producers but turns out 50% of the worlds production.

This thread reminds me, I have a few bottles of vintage Port that need drinking over the next year. There's a Fonseca, a Dow's, and a Quinto do Vesúvio all from the great 1994 vintage. The wines in the bottles could possibly go on for decades if they remained tightly stoppered; however, corks become iffy after about 25 years and I'm not positioned to have them recorked. Their time has come.

That's a shame that you have to drink those.

I feel a little... profligate for having simply thrown (so many of) them away now #hoarder.

I got bags of corks. Somewhere. They all say Sutter Home. Bartendress wanted me to make her something w/them, I forget what.
