While many fine
wine companies are embracing alternative
closures that won't be happening in Spain any time soon. Drinks Business
Review reports that Spain has determined that only bottles with cork closures will achieve the Denominacion de
Origen (DO) status (Spain's version of France's AOC). The DO classification affects still and sparkling wines in 11 of Spain's wine producing regions. The primary growing region for cork trees is Portugal and southern Spain. The law is good news for APCOR, a consortium of cork companies. APCOR recently launched a $3 million campaign to promote the use of corks. In related cork news, a study recently released claims that the cork and wine combo creates beneficial anti-tumor compounds. The study was done for the Association of Industries and Exporters of Cork to find reasons that cork is good for wine.
