Thanks for the tips everyone. I ordered the #9 corks and a Portugese corker from George. We'll see how that goes.

Is there a significant size different in a #8 and#9 cork? I know the #9 is listed as a "standard" but wondering if I can use either size in a standard bottle.

Good point. I'll be sure to account for the broken piece. Thanks for the reassurance.

Anyone ever have an issue with a wine thief chipping off into a carboy full of fermenting wine? I'm planning on filtering it (it's a bigger chip). Any other suggestions?
