How is cork on bottles of wine / cork boards?
I was opening a bottle of wine and the question arose, how is cork?
I found a wiki on this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cork_oak http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wine_cork Portugal is a major producer of cork, in fact, almost one third of the total area of cork oak, estimated at 2,150,000 hectares (5.3 million hectares) is located in Portugal, which produces around half the harvest of cork a year worldwide (about 310,000 tonnes). Cork oak is stretch across the country, although the intensity of production and quality cork varies in different areas of production. The case, which covers about 8 percent of the total area of Portugal and is 28 percent of its forests, grows better in the middle and south the country is the largest supply of the highest percentage of high quality cork is to find. The best quality cork is obtained from the province of the Algarve and parts of the Alentejo region that occurs in the north are usually lower. In terms of quantity, cutting-edge areas in central and south. Portuguese law prohibits extraction of trees more than once every nine years to protect the species.
