I'll be corking tonight!!!! Very excited, I've bulk aged a Winexpert Selections series Melot. the wine was made on Dec 15th and I followed all instructions with the kit except that instead of bottling a few months ago, I just left it in the carboy. So it's about 4 months old.
On to the question! I just practiced a few times with water in the bottles and my corker. I seem to end up with about 1/4 to 3/8th of an inch of cork sticking out of the top of the bottle. Is this a problem? I plan to drink the wine over the next 3 months. I am using a double level hand corker.
Thanks,
Jorma
