May need to get more corks soon...

[geek]

I had co-purchased a 1000ct bag of this one at Amazon, with my friend @bkisel :

These corks are really good in my book, recommended by @Rocky and others.

But it looks like they don't have them any longer, we paid an incredible $69.08 total shipped for 1,000 corks.

Any recommendations for a similar quality and price cork?

Wow Varis! How much wine have you been making? That was a rockin deal on those corks.

Yeah, I didn't run out yet and don't know how many I have left but I have a few batches coming for bottling soon.
If things go as planned this weekend I will bottle around 120 bottles....

Just looking to up the count even though not in a rush right at the moment.

Okay, you covered in this post what I just asked in a PM sent to you.

Is this cork of 1 + 1 type? What is the life span?

If anyone does see a good deal on corks please share

I understand that a #9 would be preferable over a #8 because of the tighter fit but what would be the difference between the long and the short??

 

[geek]

longer time span for the wine in the bottle.

 

[ibglowin]

No, that is just a regular agglomerated cork.

Any other option somewhere around that incredible price?

The long corks are longer

I pay .11 each for 1+1 for 1000 corks, plus shipping.

Can you share a link for those?

 

[Runningwolf]

Nope, ancient Chinese secret

LOL just kidding. Lafitte. http://www.lafitte-usa.com/

I actually get mine personalized there as a few other also do. If you call them, mentioned that you heard about them on this forum and you can even give my name. They said a good many of folks have come to them from here.

I do the same as Runningwolf. Very happy with Laffite. First custom order is a little expensive, because their setting up a template for you. But its $0.11 after that. Great price, great service, great corks.

 

[geek]

Thanks guys.
It was such a great deal from Amazon but we'll see.

 

[Rocky]

Sorry to see that the Amazon deal is gone. It may be temporary. I have seen things come and go on that site. I went into my account and asked for an email notification if and when they are again available. If I get the notification, I will post it on the forum. I am down to about 500 now and have a lot to bottle.

 

[Runningwolf]

I wish Amazon would bring back those 90 dollar wine presses.

Can a bottle of wine be re-corked?
