Sign the 100% Cork Petition
Tell wineries you won't purchase wines with artificial stoppers.
"I pledge to buy only wine preserved with natural cork, and encourage my family, friends, and local retailers to do the same. I recognize that artificial plastic stoppers and aluminum screw caps consume fossil fuels, and use at least five times more energy per ton to produce. Cork is not only a better closure for wine; it is the only organic, biodegradable and renewable choice."
