Wine Bottling

Developed for the wine industry to address corkiness, inconsistency, random oxidation, and leakage, these corks are made from Suberin, the purest part of cork, that is blended with a proprietary polymer which enhances the natural elasticity and sealing properties of the cork. The corks are symmetrical and totally natural in appearance. They are ideally suited for use with wines that are intended for enjoyment years after bottling. Bottles can be put on their side immediately after corking.

Tradition has a great deal to do with the shape and color of a bottle, and perhaps little to do with what you should actually use to bottle your wine. The hock bottle is a tall, slender bottle with long sloping shoulders. Traditionally they were filled with German wines from the Rhine and Moselle regions. Rhine bottles were traditionally brown (an exception being blue bottles of similar shape from the Nahe region) and Moselle bottles were traditionally green. These were typically light and fruity wines which vary from dry to sweet, so you might use them to bottle wines of similar value. Another positive about sticking with tradition is that it gives you an instant idea about what might be in a bottle in your cellar, especially if you do not label your bottles. The bottom line is though that you can use what you like! These bottles are 750 ml, and amber in color, and are designed for a cork finish (that is to say, they must be corked and are designed to use a #9 straight cork). They come 12 to a case and are sold by the case. Actual shipping rates apply to all cases of bottles.

Bordeaux bottles (also less commonly called Claret bottles) contract sharply at the neck. This configuration makes them stay in a slanted wine rack a little better. Traditionally people use the green bottles for red wines and the clear (or "flint") bottles for white wines, although you may use them as you see fit!. This style of bottle is used for many commercial wines in France and elsewhere around the world. While tradition is a strong motivator, you may certainly use this bottle for any type of wine, at your pleasure. These bottles are 750 ml, or about 4/5 of a quart. They are cork finished, which simply means that they must be closed using a cork. They are designed for a #9 straight cork. They come 12 bottles to the case. Actual shipping rates apply to all cases of bottles.

This slick unit can be used for bottling both still and sparkling wine. The filler has a tapered fitting that accomodates 5/16", 3/8" and 1/2" siphon hoses. To use, simply attach the siphon hose to the spigot on the bottling bucket and filler unit, turn the spigot on, push the button on the filler and the filling begins! When the bottle is full, the unit automatically stops. Fill level can be adjusted.

Metallic Green Shrink Caps

Nomacorcs are made by a unique, patented, co-extrusion process that binds the interior and exterior sections of the cork by heat adhesion. Extrusion molding is a continuous process that provides a very consistent quality. Nomacorc is simply a better closure because its small, uniform, closed cell structure creates a better barrier from oxygen and preserves the quality of your wine. The corks are printed with an attractive Spanish grape design. We recommend the use of any hand or floor corker with these corks.
