The cork harvest in Portugal
Фильм және анимация
Jamie Goode, www.wineanorak.com, visited the cork forests in Portugal's Alentejo wine region to see the cork harvest in action, with Frederico Lima Mayer of Cork Supply. Then we followed the cork back to the production facility to see it being sorted, boiled and cut, ready to send up to the factory in Porto to make the wine corks from it.

Lol it's like he gets hit by the plank.
Great video. Seen the process of cutting from the trees before, but never the rest. Thanks.
Wow, I was thinking what an interesting video this was and was pleasantly surprised when I looked at who uploaded it. Thanks for 'Wine Science,' Jamie! I think it's a masterpiece.
Amazing video!
it was so squeaky when they cut it
what do they boil the cork in?... just water ? or do they use a bleach or soap or disinfectant...looks like suds when they pull it out of the boiling water...?

Very interesting,
Im really interested on how the cork made... thanks to Cork Tree!!!
Why is it that you can use a wine bottle cork to re-cork wine, but the same isn't true with a champagne cork?

Because a champagne cork is flared so it can hold itself against the preasure of the carbonation. Once it's out you can't put it back in without trimming and even then it's not guaranteed to stay in if still fizzy.
What happens with the offcuts?

The bark grows back, and the trees can be harvested several times in their life. Anyone who says that natural Cork is not sustainable clearly don't know what they're talking about.

They are so skilled and care is taken not to scratch the wood of the tree.

No. Harvesters only take the outer bark, while making sure the inner bark doesn't get damaged. It's sort of like the tree is shedding its old skin, like a snake
