Cork gets a bad rap for tainting wine, Bill Van Ollefen, Sun-Sentinel (Ft. Lauderdale)

Cork and Sustainability, Larry Walker, Wines & Vines
"Cork supply companies have devoted millions of dollars to research cork taint in the past decade or so, and it is
beginning to pay off. In my personal tasting--2,500-3,000 bottles per year--I've seen the incidence of cork taint drop from almost 3% to just over 1%.”

Do you still need convincing?, Nora Berrahmouni (World Wildlife Fund), Harpers
"The environmental credentials of cork closures are strong. Cork is a totally green product. It is a 100% natural,
re-useable and recyclable product. It is biodegradable, so there is no landfill, and there is no wastage during the
production process – every last particle is used."
