wine corks

9 years ago

My niece and I are making crafts for Christmas and doing a boarder in my kitchen and looking for wine corks. Could someone please tell me where to find used corks. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I'd just ask my wine drinking friends. Wine corks come in all sizes and will be stained to some degree. I guess this wouldn't be a problem in fashioning your border. You could purchase them new but you may not want the uniformity.

You can probably buy new ones fairly cheaply from a "make your own wine" place. They might save used ones for you too although they might not have many used. Why not call one near you and ask or ask a nearby restaurant that serves wine, or the place where people return their used bottles? (Many people bring them back with the corks stuck in them.)

Kirk, that looks wonderful. I'd be hanging that in the kitchen. Ladies and Gents...if you do give away a "cork" gift, make sure it goes to someone you really love. If you notice, even good wines rarely have real cork these days; a plastic look alike is about as close as it gets. I have saved some over the years and now have them displayed in an old mason jar. Glad I have them!! (PS...not sure what's going on here right now...but I keep trying to move my cursor with my mouse, but the "hand" pops up as if there is a link under my message. Strange.)

Can these corks be used to bottle wine? I have no idea if corks can be reused. My BF made some wine this year and he is need of bottles and corks. LMK! I have some lobelia cardinalis (hummers), pink candle celosia (hummers and butterflies), blue picotee morning glory, red cypress vine, some other seed from trades and a whole bunch of lettuces (purchased).
