SupremeCorq synthetic closures offer winemakers and consumers several benefits over tree bark closures:

  • SupremeCorqs do not support TCA growth so there is no risk of cork taint.
  • They ensure that the wine seal will be consistent, bottle to bottle.
  • They form an excellent seal so leakage, evaporation and musty off flavors are virtually eliminated.
  • They will not break or crumble during insertion or extraction.
  • They will not generate cork dust.
  • They are made with materials that comply with FDA and EU regulations.
  • They allow the wine to be stored and transported upright, making handling and shipping easier.
  • They "pop" when removed from the bottle.
  • They duplicate and improve upon the traditional wine/spirits seal.

  • Synthetic closures are manufactured under stringent GMP (Good Manufacturing Practices) and AIB (American Institute of Baking) standards.
  • Screw caps require a different glass mold, which may be difficult or costly to source.
  • Synthetic closures “pop” when removed from the bottle.
