synthetic cork
Faux wine plug
Synthetic cork is a wine bottle stopper made from plastic or composite materials rather than natural cork bark.
It mimics the shape and function of traditional cork while avoiding problems like cork taint, which can spoil wine.
The winery switched to synthetic corks to ensure consistent quality.
Some wine drinkers consider them less elegant than natural cork.
