It has long been debated how it is better to store wine - with a cork or screw cap. Traditionalists say that it is best to close wine bottles with cork, as it best preserves the aroma of the drink.
Critics of corks claim, on the other hand, that screw caps are more environmentally friendly, and wine tastes the same with or without cork.
At the beginning of last year, the company Whiterose seems to have managed to resolve the long-standing dispute. It launched a new cork-like wine stopper, but produced on a different plant basis. The new cork is the first carbon-free product in the wine industry.
The cork, which looks and performs the same functions as traditional cork, is not made from peeled cork oak bark, but from a plant-based biopolymer derived from Brazilian sugar cane, which is commonly used to produce biofuels.
The manufacturer says it is fully recyclable and has less carbon than traditional cork, plastic and aluminum plugs.
The US-based company has already achieved stunning success with the launch of new wine bottle caps and its share of the global cap market has grown by 20 percent, according to world agencies.
The new product is already widely used in North America and Asia. From the beginning of April, the new plugs also appeared on the market in Great Britain and France.
Despite the advertised qualities, the biopolymer stopper is not welcomed by all environmentalists. Following a series of reports, WWF argues that traditional Portuguese and Spanish cork production is vital for maintaining biodiversity in the forests of the Iberian Peninsula and providing habitat for endangered species such as the Iberian lynx and the Berber deer.
