nomacorc corking issues
So I corked 57 bottles using synthetic nomacorc before reading about the known issues with using the Portuguese floor corker. I did a silly thing and had the corks sitting in water while bottling.
Anyway I have had all 57 bottles laying on horizontally for 48 hours to see if there were any leaks. None found. Some have slight scoring, but not the entire length of the cork.
BUT..
Some of my corks turned out like this....
Also, the grapes are upside down, is that rude?
Is this only cosmetic or should these be recorked ASAP?
Anyone have a good procedure for nomacorcs with a Portuguese corker?
