Why should I choose Supreme Corq synthetic closures over tree bark closures?

Supreme Corq synthetic closures offer winemakers and consumers several benefits:


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 of 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

 

Why should I choose synthetic closures over screw caps?


Synthetic closures are more readily accepted by consumers

Synthetic closures can be used with existing bottling equipment. Screw caps require new bottling equipment.
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.
