Yep...maybe not for showing, but fine for storing.

The way the cork looks like it is crumbling at the top makes me think that maybe the corks were a bit old or dried out. I'd put them in a corkidor before using any more from that batch of corks.
If you have an Italian floor corker, you can adjust the nut located on the plunger that pushes the corks in, and sink the corks in a little more if you wanted.

If you wanna make the wine last more, try do what i do at home.
Put the corks in boilling water for a few seconds, and then put in on the botle.
This isnt the best kind of cork, it falls appart rapidly and allows wide gaz exchages with the exterior air.
U can make it better if u drop some hot natural candle wax over the cork.
