Wine corks or wine stoppers are a chunk made up of cork, rubber, or other similar products made by various materials used as a stopper for a wine bottle. These are mainly used to control the physical and chemical properties of the wines. Common wine corks control the moisture, act as resistance to spillage, and also control the oxidants that in turn control the presence of microorganisms. Various types of wine corks, such as natural, synthetic, screw caps, plastic caps, and others, are available in the market. Natural wine corks are best suited for the old and premium wine, which avoids leakage and extraction of flavors from the bottle.
Natural corks are the majorly used corks in the global wine corks market. Main objective of a wine cork is to preserve and store wine for a long time. Natural corks have been used in the wine industry for centuries owing to their elasticity of cellular structure. Natural corks are slightly airtight and not fully sealed because some air is able to pass through natural corks as there are holes inside the cork structure microscopically. This feature can be beneficial or harmful, depending on the type of wine that is stored.

Synthetic corks are being used on a large scale in the wine corks market since the last three decades. Synthetic corks are commonly made from oil-based plastic, while there are certain synthetic cork manufacturers who are also experimenting with the use of plant-based polymers of corn and sugar cane. In the wine industry synthetic corks can prove advantageous for winemakers who are looking to pass a little oxygen transfer in the wines.
