Purchase Only Wines with Natural Cork Stoppers

Did you know natural cork is sustainably harvested from the bark of Cork Oak trees that are never cut down?  These trees can live up to 300 years, and remove 12 million tons of carbon from the atmosphere each year. In addition, cork forests support one of the world’s highest levels of forest biodiversity, second only to the Amazonian Rainforest.  The hand-harvesting of Cork Oak trees also provides a sustainable livelihood for thousands of families.

Artificial stoppers use at least five times more energy to produce, ending up in our oceans and landfills.

So do your part and only buy wines finished with a natural cork.  You’ll be helping the environment, Cork Oak forest biodiversity, and providing livelihoods for those who rely on the cork forests as a vital source of income.
