Natural Corks, Synthetics, T-Tops Technical Corks Natural Corks Bar Top Corks, also known as T-Top Corks, are used for products that require the bottle to be easily re-closed because the product may not be consumed at one time. Some products that may utilize a bar top corks are: ice wines, ports, dessert wines, spirits, olive oils, vinegars and salad dressings. Typically a Bar Top Cork would be used in conjunction with a bar top bottle finish. It is important that you select the proper size and type of Bar Top for your application. Synthetic Corks Micro-Agglomerated Corks Synthetic Bar Tops One-piece synthetic Both the top and shaft are molded as one piece. This eliminates the potential of the top separating from shaft. We stock the more popular sizes and colors. Two-piece synthetic This cork has an injection molded black ribbed top and a tan colored synthetic shaft. These bar tops are commonly used for clear spirits like vodka or gin. We can customize with wood tops and different sized shafts. Natural Cork Bar Tops The Natural Cork Bar Tops are the traditional and most common Bar Tops. The top is a black ribbed plastic with a natural cork shaft. We also stock a wood top with a natural cork shaft. Custom bar tops are available. Bar Top Pour Spouts These two piece Bar Top Pour Spouts have a removable top that acts as a lid. The synthetic shaft is also a pour spout and a flow reducer. The top is black and the pour spout/flow reducer is tan. We stock these in three sizes, custom sizes and colors available. Call For Samples to Ensure Proper Fit Natural Cork Natural cork is cut from the bark of the cork oak tree. These corks are 100% natural cork, with no agglomerated components. These are available in a variety of grades and price points, plus they are available in different sizes. For higher quality wines that might be cellared for several years, one should consider higher quality grades and possibly longer natural corks. Colmated Corks - not shown Colmated corks are lower grade natural corks in which the imperfections are filled with a cork dust/neutral adhesive solution. These corks are widely use for wines crafted for immediate consumption, within two years. Micro-Agglomerated Years of research has led to the development of the micro-agglomerated cork. Starting with very fine cork particles, a steam process is used to eliminate any halophenols and haloanisoles (TCA.). By binding together these cork particles with a food-grade resin, the results are a low cost wine stopper. Recommended for storage of wine up to three years. Technical Corks Also known as 1+1, or twin disks corks. These corks are a combination of sterilized cork particles and food-grade resins to form a dense, elastic stopper. On both ends of the stopper are disks of natural cork. Recommended for storage of wine up to five years. Synthetic Corks There are two basic production methods for synthetic corks, molded or extruded. Molded corks are sealed on all surfaces whereas extruded have exposed cells on both ends. Our synthetic cork is extruded, however all surfaces are sealed. Our synthetic cork is very unique and has been thoroughly tested by a major testing facility. The test results are available for your review upon request. We stock plain synthetic corks for your immediate needs. These corks are available custom printed with your logo. Colored corks are also available. P16 www.brickpackaging.com 866.770.7600 sales@brickpackaging.com
Screw Caps (ROPP) Screw Cap (ROPP) Zorks Our 30x60 ROPP Screw Caps are aluminum closures that are used primarily in the wine and spirits industry. They are applied to bottles with an ROPP threaded finish and with a screw capping machine that can roll the cap down onto the threads of the bottle with the appropriate pressure to form a seal and provide an oxygen barrier. They can be produced with either a Saranex or a Tin liner. However, we only stock the saranex liner. While these kind of closures have been around for a number of years, they have recently gained popularity in the global wine industry as an alternative closure to cork since there is no chance that the wine can be spoiled from a bad cork. They are especially popular for wines that will be consumed in just a few years. Satin White (80) Gloss White (A80) Matte Black (76) Shiny Black (A70) Satin Black (70) Shiny Gold (20) Matte Gold (18) They can be decorated in a variety of ways and are made with heavy-gauge aluminum which has all of the performance characteristics required for bottling.

Oak Additives Powder Used for Fermentation Oak powder can best be described as oak flour. Due to very careful processing, the particle size of powder is smaller than 0.3mm. Commonly used during fermentation, powder can be added directly to picking bins and has been shown to reduce oxidation and protect natural fruit characteristics. Oak powder aids in the reduction, or elimination, of vegetal characteristics found in certain varietals, under-ripe fruit, or fruit coming from young vines. Furthermore, powder aides in the stabilization or fixation of color and cross polymerization of tannins (structure), without the addition of excess oak aromas during this critical stage of winemaking. Used during aging, powder allows for very rapid extraction. Nevertheless, caution is advised as the integration of oak aromas and tannins will not happen as rapidly as extraction; hence, one can expect a period of evolution, with a softening over time, in any wine treated with powder during aging. AGING TIME (Extraction Time): Hours Available In: French Oak Light, Medium, Medium Plus Toast American Oak Medium Toast Granulate Used for Fermentation Oak granulates are sized between powder and chips. This finely ground product resembles a loose tea or tobacco in appearance. Primarily used during fermentation, granulates can be added at the crusher/ stemmer or directly into the fermentation vessel. Their small size allows them to pass through winery equipment without risk. Oak granulates, like oak powder, aid in the reduction, or elimination, of vegetal characteristics found in certain varietals, under-ripe fruit, or fruit coming from young vines. Furthermore, granulates aid in the stabilization or fixation of color and cross polymerization of tannins (structure), without the addition of excessive oak aromas. The size of granulates is perfect for full extraction in a classic fermentation of 6-10 days. AGING TIME (Extraction Time): 6-10 Days Available In: French Oak Untoasted (Nektar Fresh)*, Light, Medium, Medium Plus Toast American Oak Light, Medium and Medium Plus Toast *Nektar Fresh French Oak has over twice the amount of tannin as American Oak. When oak is in the untoasted state, it is at the height of tannin. The higher the toast level, the lower the tannin level. Nektar Fresh is an excellent product for fermentation of both red and white wines. The benefits are: holds color, reduces vegetal flavors, reduces oxidation, and preps your wine for further oak aging. Chips Used for Fermentation and Tank Aging The classic oak additive medium-sized pieces of oak. In aging both red and white wines, chips are used when rapid turnover is important. Thanks to their small size and large surface area, extraction can be accomplished in 3-5 weeks. In the classic tea-bag form (chips restricted to a nylon bag), they are remarkably easy to use and require no modification to existing stainless tanks. Chips allow for the contribution of structure and oak aromas when barrel aging is not an option. Due to the rapid extraction of aromas and tannins a period of evolution in the wine can be expected after treatment with a softening over time. A useful tool in the fermentation of white wines, the chip s size allows them to be used in the classic tea-bag form (chips restricted to a nylon bag). The untoasted chip, when used at this stage, will add structure and aid in the elimination of reductive characteristics, stabilization of color and the natural expression of the fruit. When aging white wines with chips, it is recommended to do so on lees. AGING TIME (Extraction Time): 3-5 weeks Available In: French Oak Untoasted, Light, Medium, Medium Plus Toast American Oak Medium and Medium Plus Toast Special Chips Dolce Vanilla* *Dolce Vanilla This special blend of chips and toasts was created in order to contribute delicate vanilla flavors, as well as sweetness and volume, while respecting the fruit and sensory balance of the wine. Dolce Vanilla was perfected after lengthy research carried out by the R&D department and numerous red and white wine trials conducted by a team of oenologists. Dolce Vanilla should be added to wines during malolactic fermentation or during aging. Dolce Vanilla delivers balanced oak aromas over a period of 4-8 weeks.

Oak Additives We are here to help select the correct product for your application Segments Used for Tank Aging Segments are tank staves that have been cut into 17/8 x 17/8 squares. Packed in mesh bags of 11 pounds or 25 pieces. Segments can be used in precisely the same manner as the staves with the exception of aging time. Aging can be reduced to 2-4 months because increased surface area allows for more rapid extraction. The fact that they are pre-packaged in 11 lb. nylon bags allows for immediate use. AGING TIME (Extraction Time): 2-4 months Available In: French Oak Light, Medium, Medium Plus Toast American Oak By Special Order Stick Sets Used for Barrel Aging Stick sets are typically used in neutral barrels. However, they can be used to tune up a wine that is aging in older, lower flavor barrels. Stick sets are staves cut and linked to form a chain set of oak. These sets are dropped through the bung hole, a metal pin is used to attach the set to the bung. The short stick set consists of 24 pieces of oak, assembled in 8 sections. The short stick sets approximates 40% of the effect of a new barrel. The long stick set consists of 60 pieces of oak, assembled in 20 sections. The long stick set approximates 100% the effect of a new barrel. AGING TIME (Extraction Time): 3-6 Months Available In: French Oak Medium and Medium Plus Toast American Oak Medium and Medium Plus Toast Staves Used for Tank Aging Staves are the largest pieces of oak measuring 17/8 x 377/8 x 1/4. They can be assembled in fan sets or can be used individually for aging. You can use one wood type and one toast level, or a variety of woods and toast levels in order to build complexity. Staves allow for a slow extraction of both tannins and aromas; hence, the integration is as close to that of a barrel as can be obtained with the use of non-coopered oak. The use of staves in red wine can begin at the start of malo-lactic fermentation and continue or be initiated during aging. In white wines, stave use can begin at the start of primary fermentation and continue through malo-lactic fermentation or begin at malo-lactic fermentation. The Blend Stave s tight grain offers more aromatic potential, with reduced tannins, but requires more time for extraction.
