The best corks allow close to 1 milligram of oxygen to enter the bottle each year. This is just the right amount of air to remove the sulfites that were added in the bottling process to keep the wine fresh and to avoid the harmful effects of oxidation. This small amount of air is perfect for helping age-worthy wines develop their complexities while the tannins are busy softening. Our wine stoppers have a black rubber gasket that gives a great seal!
Shipping is a complex issue, made even more so by the fact that we source a great many of our exclusive favors from around the world. The shipping cost from the source country is factored into the price you see in your cart. But the cost of shipping to your address in USA from our USA warehouses will vary according to the weight and size of the shipment.
