OK, I've searched. I've even contacted Sogrape and can't seem to get past the Portugese-English barrier.
My question is this - I have accumulated (after putting out the word that I want/need empty bottles) a couple dozen or so empty Sogrape bottles. I like the oval design, they make a nice presentation, but the problem is that unlike standard wine bottles with an opening of 19mm (~3/4"), these are all 15mm (~19/32"). Even #7 corks are too big, and I don't think my corker will compress corks to the required 15mm size; this is just my opinion, I haven't measured the iris for that. Yet.
So, I'd like to hear from anyone with any constructive ideas, OTHER THAN "Get rid of the bottles and use something else." I could (did) come up with that one on my own.:cross:
Thanks in advance!
