Traditionally, <strong>the safest material has been cork<\/strong>, thanks to its special characteristics, such as low density, flexibility, elasticity, compressibility, impermeability to liquids and gases, and humidity resistance.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<p>However, cork stoppers can also be the source of some of the major defects in wine, in particular TCA,&nbsp;<strong>which can have unpleasant consequences on a wine\u2019s smell and taste.<\/strong> Therefore, controlling the quality of cork stoppers can influence the quality of the wine itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As such, <strong>selecting a good supplier for your sparkling wine cork stoppers<\/strong>&nbsp;is one of the most important decisions you will have to make.

In addition, the best suppliers usually have seals of approval accrediting the quality of their products<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><b>Non-specialized suppliers<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> are those undergoing diversification. These types of companies offer certain guarantees to the consumer and they are in the process of becoming specialized.

Being able to select the origin of the cork makes it possible to control its quality.<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><b><strong>The physical proximity of the factory to its customers<\/strong><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Physical proximity to the customer is essential to reduce the impact on the environment. At the same time, we ensure a quick and agile response in terms of customer satisfaction, delivery and after-sales service.<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><b>Use of standardized production and quality processes<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> <\/span>to ensure product uniformity. This is achieved by combining the knowledge of the traditional cork industry with cutting edge machine technology and manual processes, all this together with a quality control of the raw material and the production process.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><b>Some customization<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> on different cork stoppers for different types of sparkling wines.<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><b>Commitment to the customer <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">and a good interpersonal relationship with them.<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><b>Implementation of the highest standards for manufacture,<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> production, and distribution, with the most prestigious quality seals on the market.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">Quality seals for cork stopper companies<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nowadays, there are a number of seals that accredit quality and uniformity in the manufacture of cork stoppers.
