I bought some synthetic corks to try, ummm..well actually it would be a
case of 2000 corks..anyway, they weren't working very well, folding
under so I switched back to GEO's amalgamated finevinewines corks, they
always go in perfectly, I think they are "slippery" anyway, the problem
I had was I was pushing them in too slow, so the rest of you newbee's
remember to push the cork in as fast as you can, it starts to expand
right away and if your going slow like I was it catches on the bottle
and the bottom folds under and looks bad especially if your using
clear bottles. ( the synthetic corks are really hard and the ones I had
require a iris corker).
THE QUESTION:
Do I need to lay the bottles down with synthetic corks?
(I bought them cause when you give wine away, most people don't lay the bottles down anyway)
