How to Cork Wine Bottles
Putting cork in homemade wine, a straightforward process, requires inexpensive specialized machine. The process, called "corking," does not vary between types of wine. It allows a homemade wine to age, adding a new dimension to your creation.
1. Choose a corker. Consider how many bottles of wine you will make. Hand corkers, for a first attempt and under a dozen bottles of wine. For more extensive bottling efforts, a larger lever corker may be more suitable.
2. Obtain # 8 corks corks, the most useful in home wine making. Soak natural corks in a pan with 2 quarts of warm distilled water for 20 minutes.
3. Fill the clean wine bottles to 1 inch below where the bottom of the cork will be in the neck. Place the filled bottle into the corking device. Place the cork in the opening. With a smooth even stroke, insert the cork into the bottle. Wipe all moisture from the cork. Let the bottles sit upright for 24 hours to stabilize the air pressure before placing in a wine rack.
Tips
- Add a professional touch by shrinking seals onto the top of the bottle.
I only have a regular corkscrew and the cork has broken… Now what to do
If you don’t have an alternative tool and you’re stuck with a broken cork, half of it still blocking the bottle neck (i.e. you can’t even filter the wine) you have two options: either you try again with your corkscrew, inserting it carefully then pulling the cork in one go instead of twisting; you simply concede and push the cork down into the bottle.
If this happens remember to use the handle of a teaspoon to keep the cork down while pouring and prevent wine spurting. Not the most elegant solution but serves the ultimate purpose: drinking the wine!
The cork has crumbled. What to do?
The simplest, and most obvious solution, is to filter the wine through a mesh strainer.
NOT JUST FOR HOME-MADE WINE, BUT.........

I steam my corks and have a manual bottle corker. They inserted into my wine bottles easily and consistently. It's been a couple of weeks and no cork failures. I won't open the bottles for quite a while so I can't comment on that at this point.

Great! Embossed with wine glass on each cork. Gave as gift together with Amazon cork container shaped as a wine 🷠glass. These gifts were well appreciated.

Ordered these about a week ago. I had 10 gallons of mead to bottle so I went with cheaper corks because that's a lot of bottles (I know, get what you pay for). Corking wasn't TOO difficult but you can tell they didn't fit right. Fast forward to yesterday, I went to open one and the first half of the cork just crumbled as the corkscrew went in, so I dug that out and tried to get the second half out and it crumbled into the bottle... NOT an ideal thing to happen, so I gave it the benefit of the doubt and tried another one and same thing. I will not be buying these again for my home brew.

Im not cork expert but they look and feel strong. I was buying them for cauliflower ear packing. I don't recommend it. Just get the magnets. Seem like pretty serious corks though.
