May not be in the right section but does anyone know of a cork stopper supplier in australia? Looking for various sizes for some jars. I found a mob in the uk but waiting over 2 weeks for them to arrive sux, hoping I can find some in aus. The big tapered style corks are the ones I am after like pic below.

I've seen corks @ bottle suppliers that operate within Oz, just wish I could remember them! This hobby seems to be affecting my short term memory... :wtf:

But, then I just popped some random words into google and this came up: Ozzy Cork Distributor... They seem to be Eco worriors, so be mindful, that usually means it costs more! :angry-banghead:
Funny how saving the environment or your health always costs heaps more than ruining it! 8-}



EDIT: Ok, forget it! That short term memory thing again - wrong corks... :violence-smack:

make sure your getting natural cork and not reconstituted cork. I may be wrong but the pic at the top looks like the glued together stuff.

Ive got my corks from: www.widgetco.com

Please delete that link if its against forum rules..

unfortunately its from states, so it takes forever to deliver (4+ weeks) but their customer service is very good (if delivery is lost or anything wrong with it , they happy to send another without any questions..) Product is excellent, if I need more corks - that is my web place to get them.

In regards to Au source of corks - there is no cork trees farms in Au , kind of reason we nowadays unscrew wine bottles ..

I have used the same place you can order them any size you want and get natural cork.

Not the cheapest option but if your going to pay for shipping once measure every orifice you want to cork to make it worthwhile ;-)
