Tasting Corks

[mpt1123]

Hello:
I need to make up about (45) 375ml bottles (http://www.finevinewines.com/p-96-5221.aspx) to use as favors for a wedding rehearsal dinner. To simplify things and avoid everyone needing a corkscrew, I want to use the Altec Tasting Corks (http://www.finevinewines.com/p-2952-4250.aspx). Do these Tasting Corks fit the 375ml bottle? Can I still use a PVC closure on top?
Thanks,
Mike

Yes they do fit the 375 just fine. PVC closures should fit as well. I just got a bag of them myself last week for my La Bodega Port. Nice handy product!

Yes they'll fit the 375 bottles. I would not use them for long term storage though.

I should add that I bought mine to have on hand or give away to friends to seal the port I give away after opening. I will be using #9 X 1.5 corks for original seal.

Mike, I would use 9 x 1.75, you want to age this Port a long time right?

 

[ibglowin]

But all of mine is going in 375's, wouldn't that be overkill for a 375?

 

[Goodfella]

I used them on mine....

 

[Wade E]

I only use 1.75's! This is something that should be aged for many years. Just my $.02!

I just ordered 1000 #9 x 1.75 so I could go either way here.......

I could go either way ......

Mike I realize that a personal choice

but i also use 9 x 1.75's in my 375 ml bottles.

Mike,
I'm surprised that you can go BOTH WAYS ! LOL
