These corks are designed for plugging sparkling wines. Their diameter is much larger than the average
of other types of cork closures. This is because this type of cork must withstand high pressure in this kind of drinks.
Corks for sparkling wines are destined for further handling by that client (finish) and for sealing
bottles containing sparkling wine.
Durability
The maximum period for which should be corks after the treatment should not be stored longer than 4 months

decomposes over time and increases the risk of microbial colonization. Untreated corks (just washed and washed and dyed)
are intended for immediate consumption.
