Where to Get Corks for Corking

[Slade xTekno]

As the title says, where do you get your corks for corking blades?

Also, what else have you used to "cork" a blade? I've read of some people using polystyrene and shot glasses...

I will only use a cork from a bottle of 1967 Ch. d'Yquem.

Shot glasses don't seem "corklike" at all.

I take it you don't drink wine?

Next time you are in a restaurant ask at the bar.

+1 or, as I did, grab one from a friend if they are wine drinkers. A single cork in good shape should be good for several years of blade corking.

And does a cork shot glass have a handle?

I've tried corking . . . does not do anything good for me just dulls the blade. Perhaps I was using a cork from the wrong vintage . . . no 1967 Ch. d'Yquem in my wine cellar and I'm not paying sixteen hundred rasbucknicks to address this lack.

When you are in a bad need of corks you might want to pick up another hobby as well...

Hmm, I just finished a bottle of Glenfiddich Solera Reserve (only took 3 years) and saved the cork. I guess I'd better replenish my stock so I have a back up cork ready.

Some hardware stores or craft stores have corks. I have some I got from work that were used to cork test tubes.

Or you could try to get some at Amorim corks...#1 worlwide leader of cork products!!

Try the Ch. Gilette creme de tete, the official sauterne of B&B.

 

[Barbarian]

Buy a friend a bottle of wine and ask for the cork back.

This would be worth it just for the quizzical look you would get.

 

[bonusmarple]

Drink more wine!!!

 

[lamina]

Some floors are made of cork...you could buy a cork tile!!

Screw caps got cork?

 

[iceman01]

Don't you have stores, which have specialized in wine, in the US?

Thanks Harry, Now I have to wipe up the beer I spewed out my nose.

Depends where you live

I love the smooth shave of a corked feathers.

Ah just use those boxes those cubes of plastic bladdered wine comes in, and you'll be golden!

I don't cork blades (I want sharper blades, not ones that are more dull!)

If you are not a wine drinker, why not pick up some Sparkling Cider? They have corks.
