To stop with a cork, as a bottle.
Traditional bottle stopper produced from the bark of cork trees.
A wine bottle stopper made from the bark of oak trees, usually from Spain or Portugal.
a tough tissue that combines with the phloem to become the bark of vascular plants.
Cork cells are the cells that develop around the periphery of the stem to protect it from water loss and invasion by insects, bacteria, and fungi spores. Cork contains suberin, a waxy substance that is water proof. Cork is synonymous with periderm. DIAGRAMS: PHOTOS: 6-Year Tilia Stem
outer bark of the cork oak; used for stoppers for bottles etc.
(botany) outer tissue of bark; a protective layer of dead cells
the plug in the mouth of a bottle (especially a wine bottle)
close a bottle with a cork
Keeps the wine in, and the air out. Made from the bark of the cork tree. Sometimes they leak, and the quality of the wine is compromised.
A stopper consisting of a cylindrical piece of bark cut from the tree Quercus suber. The elasticity and springiness of this wood enables it to hold the wine inside the bottle without leaking.
The light, tough bark of the cork oak tree used as a compo or plug fashioned for a closure or its liner.
Corks are produced from the bark of cork trees, which are grown mainly in Spain and Portugal. Corks are airtight and have for years been the best way to seal wine bottles.
a tree bark used as a bottle closure. IGCB
The outer layer of the bark in woody plants; composed of dead cells.
The protector or guardian of a bottle of wine, it is a hard sponge-like insertion which is actually from the bark of the cork tree. Today, you will see synthetic corks whic some prefer because they are easier to remove and re-insert to a bottle of unfinished wine. Many are purists and feel that only natural cork should be put in bottles, but there is now a cork shortage. Additionally, sometimes there is a fungus on the cork which can ruin a bottle of wine (some refer to this as the wine being "corked or corky" as in bad, and/or a person who has had too much wine to drink and is drunk). While it is very rare corks go bad, (perhaps 1/1000), I personally have never encountered this problem.
cortex, bark] A secondary tissue that is a major constituent of bark in woody and some herbaceous plants; made up of flattened cells, dead at maturity; restricts gas and water exchange and protects the vascular tissues from injury.

The stopper for most wine bottles. Whether made from the bark of the cork tree or from plastic, cork must be flexible, durable and able to create an air tight seal in the neck of the bottle. Corks can be a natural product of the cork oak, or increasingly a conglomerate of cork and or synthetic materials. This is due to the diminishing number of cork oaks, and the ever increasing need for more cork.
Corks are made from the cork-oak tree. They're best for stoppers in wine bottles because they're waxy and springy. However, with the shortage of cork-oak trees, corks are now being made from plastic and rubber. There's also a new glass cork being introduced.
a plant tissue composed of cells whose walls are impregnated with suberin and are non-living at maturity; cork is produced by the cork cambium
wine bottle stopper made from the tissue of the cork oak tree.
Cells, dead in their mature state, that form the outermost covering of woody plants. These cells are infused with a waxy substance that protects the plant from drying out and from invaders.
The light, thick, elastic outer bark of an oak tree.
Cork material is a subset of generic cork tissue, harvested for commercial use primarily from the Cork Oak tree, Quercus suber, with Portugal producing most cork worldwide. Cork consists mostly of suberin.
