Liz the Squeak | BS: Wine, corks; Shoes, Laces-Why?? (36) | RE: BS: Wine, corks; Shoes, Laces-Why?? | 11 Oct 10 |
RE: plastic corks - they were developed rapidly as an alternative when the Portuguese cork oak harvest failed totally one year (mid 1990s - Portugal produces about 50% of the world's wine corks) and the loss of bottles due to cork related problems went up to around 10% (it averages at about 6-7% - Torbwines website) in the late 1990's. |
