This is my first communication to the group. Let me say I have appreciated
the information and comments that wein-plus members have offered each other.

Once a cork tree is stripped, it takes a long time for it to replenish
itself. Cork trees don't grow everywhere and cork is in short supply. What to do?

On a winery tour this past weekend, I learned that the corks for some of
Napa Valley's méthode champenoise sparking wines are made partly from recycled
cork. Here in San Francisco, our recycling firm collects corks (along with
recyclable metal and paper) and sends them back to the wineries.
