Required testing for the cork

Accelerated aging test
Extensive testing included subjecting wine bottles and corks, filled with still white wine and stored horizontally, to a temperature of 27ºC – 35ºC for 30 days. When evaluated after this period, the wine packaging delivered a stellar performance in some areas, including :
