When we appreciate a bottle of fine red wine, one detail often stands out: sealing these bottles usually involves cork instead of traditional lid. There is actually some science behind this practice!
Cork is extremely breathable.
When red wine ages in its bottle, it needs an appropriate amount of oxygen in contact with it to support the development of flavor and mouthfeel. Cork's tiny pores can exactly meet this demand by slowly allowing trace amounts of oxygen into the bottle while simultaneously protecting from excessive oxygen exposure that would result in premature oxidation of its contents.
Cork boasts outstanding sealing performance.
Soft and elastic, its properties allow it to fit tightly in bottle mouths, effectively stopping wine leaking. This seal not only ensures quality wine storage but also stops external odors from polluting it.
Lids cannot provide red wine with its essential oxygen levels and may lead to its flavor becoming dull or loss altogether. Sealing for too long could result in it tasting flat and losing its original taste.
IDEA recognizes the significance of cork stoppers to red wine quality and accordingly selects high-grade cork seals as sealing materials in its red wine bottle products. Not only do these corks meet aging requirements for red wine aging but they also reflect IDEA's ongoing pursuit of quality - choose IDEA red wine bottle products to create more charming wine fermentation under perfect storage conditions!
