  Why use cork stoppers to cap wine bottles   Most wine bottles have metal or plastic caps, but wines are usually sealed with  cork stoppers , and a special screw-shaped corkscrew is required to open the cap. Since it is so troublesome, why not use ordinary bottle caps?     Cork is taken from the bark of European cork, mainly from Portugal.

Therefore, cork stopper is considered to be an environmentally friendly material and is still used today. Metal screw caps made of aluminum only appeared in the last century. The mining and processing of aluminum ore generates much more carbon emissions than the collection of bark.   Some wine collectors believe that the dense pores of the cork allow the wine to react delicately with the air, resulting in a more mellow flavor.

Properties of cork

  Properties of cork The physical and chemical properties of  cork  are very unique. It is a pure natural polymer material composed of cork parenchyma cells. Under the microscope, every cubic centimeter of cork contains 40 million cells, and the cells are filled with air.   Observing the cross-section of cork cells through an electron microscope, it was found that cork parenchyma cells were hexagonal prisms arranged alternately. The cell wall has a cellulose skeleton covered with cork and cork wax.   There are plasmodesmata passing through between the cell walls, which are the passage of protoplasm. After the cell dies, the plasmodesmata is blocked by resin, and the air in the cell is sealed inside, forming a closed air sac. When subjected to external pressure, the cell shrinks and becomes smaller, and the air pressure inside the cell increases. High; when the external pressure is lost, the air pressure inside the cell will restore the cell to its original state...
