rcitino Posted May 7, 2006 Share Posted May 7, 2006 I bought another bottle of Rare Breed at the same time as the one mentioned in this thread. I have yet to open it - but I'm really curious as to what the results will be. I will make sure to save the replacement cork that they sent me - just in case.Good luck, brother!

TimmyBoston Posted June 1, 2006 Share Posted June 1, 2006 This may sound stupid and I know its not the best way to fix the problem, but I save old corks from empty bottles for just this case. So when a cork breaks I have a back up to replace it with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OscarV Posted June 2, 2006 Share Posted June 2, 2006 I had a Wild Turkey Russell Reserve 90 proof cork break off from the top.An eariler suggestion about saving corks is a very good idea.Oscar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluesbassdad Posted June 3, 2006 Share Posted June 3, 2006 Yes, but we borderling OCD types have to decide how many is enough. I must have close to 20 in my drawer right now. The next time my wife is marauding for postage stamps, I might end up taking some good-natured crap. Maybe I deserve it.Yours truly,Dave Morefield Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
musher Posted June 3, 2006 Share Posted June 3, 2006 Yes, but we borderling OCD types have to decide how many is enough. I must have close to 20 in my drawer right now.Enough? I'm not familiar with that word . . . I've decided to keep every cork from every bottle as a souvenir. It takes up less space than the bottle! I just have a box under the bar into which I toss them after the bottle is emptied. It also gives me a handy source of replacement corks if I have one that goes bad.Plus, since they only recycle the glass, I'm saving landfill space by not filling it up with corks, right?! :grin: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hedmans Brorsa Posted June 4, 2006 Share Posted June 4, 2006 Interesting question. Have you seen plastic corks in any bottles of spirits? I´m sure there must be others but the only thing that I could come up with from my collection was I.W. Harper President´s Reserve. Looks like this : Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nebraska Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 and let's hope the last....man I would hate to see clear plastic stoppers start being thrown on everything. Reminds me of a cheap bottle of multi-vitamins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
