How long can I store corks until they are no longer useable?
If corks haven't been opened, and they are stored properly, they are still useable up to 6 months. If corks bags have been opened, they should be returned to a closeable container and sealed tightly. For a minimal charge Scott Laboratories will reprocess, remoisturize and re-SO2 our corks.
