It's been a while since we've had a cork taint story. The latest company to save the wine world from going screwtop is the Cork Supply Group which has created the INNOCORK process to remove TCA from natural wine corks. The INNOCORK process also gets rid of other off-aromas. The process involves cleaning corks in a steam distillation of ethyl alcohol that removes the TCA. The Cork Supply Group in Portugal has been testing the process for three years.
