    Could i just hammer in a short cork screw?

    Hello @Rice_Guy, thanks for reply. There is no pressure rating. Here they cost about 7 cents each so I'm not expecting top quality. One more question: for one-liter bottles, they have both brown and green colors. Is one color better over the other for red wine? Green color, for some reason...

    Hello everyone, I'm still searching for a bottle cap. The latest find is the cap with plastic lining you see in the images below. I am wondering if this would be tight enough if I first wrap the bottle with a layer of silicon tape. What's your opinion?

    Could i just hammer in a short cork screw?

    @Rice_Guy wow. Many thanks. I had idea corks are supposed to let in a bit of oxygen too. So, if I understand you correctly, because my cork is short, it will probably let in too much oxygen, correct? Also doesn't the cork look a bit ratty? It doesn't seem solid. A lot of grooves.

    Could i just hammer in a short cork screw?

    Hello, I am a beginner who lives in a country where wine-making equipment is not readily available. I have not been able to find long cork screws or a device to push them into the bottle. After a lot of driving around, what I've found so far is 2-liter bottles with a short cork screw. Please...
