Next Step - Drink! Our New Corker

I forgot to show you dudes and chicks the sweet new setup we have for our wine making.  An integral part to the aging process is a proper seal.  That's why you should not mess around with corking your bottles.

It pays to spend a little extra the first time.  Zirn works with a guy who is buddies with the owner of Winfield Winery and he said to never waste your time or energy on a handheld corker, go with the tabletop style - so we did.


It's so simple and smooth.  I wish beer bottlers were this nice, then I could avoid that oxidation taste I seem to get in my beers.


The bottom support is spring loaded so the height of the bottle does not matter, and the head will hold any of the common sized corks.  Here it is bottling a batch of Dandelion Wine.


A few more shots of how well it works and how nice it looks:





Keep it corked yinz.
