Hi All,
Total noob to corking here. I have a bunch of what appear to be "standard" 750ml wine bottles and an italian floor corker with the brass iris. Here are my questions:
1. What type of cork should I use?
2. What size of cork should I use?
3. If the brass jaws have food-grade silicone lube on them, will it hurt the corks?
4. I don't plan on soaking/sanitizing the corks, just using them out of the bag. Correct me now or forever hold your peace.
5. How long do I store the bottles upright, then placed on their side, how long will they last?
6. Where do I buy the recommended corks for a good price?
Thanks! Any general advice would be appreciated as well.
Have a good one,
