Corks

[J]

Having trouble sourcing old fashioned cork stoppers. I've always had a big stash of them on hand, but lately we've been using them and can't find where to buy more.
Any ideas?

i had the same problem 3 years ago. In the end we approached a winery and purchased some from them. unfortunately they are all the one size but fine for what we use them for.

I purchase my corks from brewing shop. There not overly expensive and even diameter at both ends. If not, try craft/arts store, sometime they stock those weird items.

One of the regular science suppliers in Sydney have corks of various sizes. I will PM you with the name.

Thank you, everybody, for your replies. I will probably try the brewing shops as they seem to be the cheapest. And some even have the tapered corks, which is what I am after.

J, Just go down to Dan Murphys, buy a case of wine, drink it and keep the corks for science - simple!!

[J]

That sounds like a great plan, Debbie, and I may well do that anyway. Unfortunately the corks will not be the ones I want, but what the heck?

You will just have to buy lots of different brands/types of wine until you find the right cork! Big party in Dorrigo this weekend!!!!!!!!!!!!

Try Omega Scientific for corks. There is an online catalogue and you will find what you need there. But the party idea sounds like fun too.
