Cork Stoppers

Cork stoppers and closures

Cork is the original closure. Its cells are sealed by suberin, which is why a cork stopper can sit in liquid for decades without rotting or waterlogging. This collection covers tapered and bottle stoppers, T-shaped and decorative stoppers, and specialty and designer closures for wine, spirits, cosmetics, jars and premium packaging.

Stoppers come in two broad forms. Natural cork is cut straight from the harvested plank with its cell structure intact; it is the most expensive form and what people picture when they think of a wine cork. Agglomerated cork is granules bound together and moulded to shape. Which one fits depends on the bottle, the liquid and how long it has to seal.

A note on grades, because it is often misunderstood. In the wine trade, virgin bark is the first stripping from a cork oak of about 25 years, and it is rough, so it goes to rustic pieces and to granulate. Stopper-grade cork comes from the later harvests, and the tree is never felled to produce any of it.

Sizes, tops and finishes are made to your bottle and quoted to your quantity. Tell us the bottle neck size, the contents and the quantity, and we will recommend a closure and send pricing.

Every piece is made in India, from cork sourced from an FSC-certified supplier, for delivery in India or for export.
