After harvest, the cork planks must stabilize. They are sorted according to their future use as natural cork stoppers, discs, or agglomerated cork products, depending on their quality... During the maturation of wine, bottles must be stored horizontally. However, wine stored in cases for transportation can be stored vertically provided the storage is only for a relatively short period of time. Under these circumstances, wine has sufficient volatility to keep the bottom end of the cork moist, retaining the cork's excellent elastic property and an airtight seal.
