Wine corks are the traditional stoppers used to seal wine bottles. They are generally manufactured from the bark of cork oak trees, which are native to the Mediterranean region. Cork is harvested by removing the outer layer of bark from the tree, which may be done without hurting the tree. The cork is then boiled, sliced, and molded into the iconic cylindrical wine bottle stoppers. The use of cork as a wine bottle stopper has been around for centuries, and it remains a popular choice today. There are several reasons why cork is preferred over other materials. Cork is a natural biodegradable material, making it an environmentally friendly option.
