Man, these videos get much less attention than they deserve! As a food science student, i find these episodes both enjoyable and educating. Keep doing what you're doing!
Cork scraps from making solid corks can be ground up, mixed with glue, and made into things like lower-grade corks for cheaper wine, bulletin boards, birkenstock soles, and many other products.
When winemakers are saving sample bottles of their vintages for reference, they use steel-and-plastic caps on the bottles. I love cork but it’s not optimal for sealing wine bottles.
The point of the cork is to slowly allow a tiny bit of oxygen into the bottle to age the wine. Otherwise your incredibly tannic raw cabernet or petite syrah never ages and then it doesn't taste good with your food you pair it with. It isn't supposed to be a perfect seal.

I had no idea how corks were made, 9 years! That's fascinating!
I would've loved to see what happens with the remaining of the cork? Does it go waste?

I think my wife has saved the cork of every bottle of wine she's ever drunk!
My ex wife also seemed to get a lot of cork when she drank wine
Interesting, but that sharp cut off makes it fell incomplete.

It's like going to the derma and getting an exfoliating treatment.
Shame the Spanish music at the beginning...
Isn't CORK endangered now? Once all grades of wine had cork, now it's only premium wine for premium people get CORK lol.
Nope, there is a 800 years law in Portugal that prohibits to cut a cork oak tree that is why a lot of those trees can be found there.
