Wine Bottles
The size of cork you use depends on the corker you are using. Most of the bottles have the same size opening, it's more about the amount of pressure you are able to apply, which largely depends on what corker you are using. Even if you are very strong, most people cannot generate enough pressure with something like a plastic plunger corker to use a #9 cork.
Here are our recommendations:
-For use with the Portuguese Floor Corker & Italian Floor Corker
-For use with the Portuguese Floor Corker & Italian Floor Corker
For use with Single and Double Lever Hand Corkers
For use with Plastic Plunger
28mm Metal or Poly Seal Screw Caps

Beer Bottles
12 and 22 ounce beer bottles will use Crown Caps. All the crown caps are the same size.
The only beer bottle that cannot use crown caps is the Belgian Beer bottles, which need to be corked using their own special Belgian Beer Cork.
