Title: Wine bottle corker
Post by: Vince Ahern on July 26, 2017, 09:35:44 PM
Anybody know a shop in Cork where I could get a wine bottle corker by tomorrow. HBS on line won't have one to me till Friday/Saturday. Bad planning. And natures choice on town don't have them. Cheers.

Don't have one Vince but have a bag of wine bottle sized crown caps that would do in a pinch - or am I too late?

Natural Choice health food shop on Paul street have a selection of beer and winemaking equipment. It's the only bricks n mortar shop in Cork with brewing kit as far as I'm aware. I've gone in there for sachets of yeast if I'm stuck.
For more general purpose kit there's Brennan's cook shop on Oliver Plunkett st. They have flip-top bottles, and a range of the Kilner products. I think I saw a hydrometer there too actually.
For bar supplies - Musgraves have a handful of useful stuff, like drip trays and bar mats.

But there's no beating the online suppliers really.
