Corks please

Post by jdaw1 »

A child wants corks for a Very Important building project.

Please do not discard intact corks: please put otherwise unwanted intact corks in a bag and bring to a tasting.

Thank you.

How many corks does said child want? Perhaps an email to the Boot & Flogger would elicit child's required cork quantity faster than the TPF faithful.
Top Ports in 2023: Taylor 1896 Colheita, b. 2021. A perfect Port.

2024: Niepoort 1900 Colheita, b.1971. A near perfect Port.

I have, I estimate, 2-3 gallons of loose corks. Some are synthetic, some are particulate, most are actual cork. Some from Port, some from wine.

Presumably, shipping previously used corks into the UK would be less expensive than shipping currently in use corks. They are, after all, lighter without the attached bottle and contents.

How urgent is the need for construction corks?

Good idea.

Not worth shipping from USA. Thank you, but there will be local corks.
