Bottle Corkers

The size of the batch has nothing at all to do with the size of the cork.

If you're planning to age the wine for several years before drinking it, use the longest #9 corks you can get hold of, typically #9 x 1-3/4". If you're planning to drink the wine promptly, then #8 x 1-1/2" should do just fine.

A floor corker is my first choice. My second choice would be a double-lever hand-held corker such as this:

Thanks for that information. I didn't mean that the size of the batch would make a difference in the cork except in the regard that you don't want to buy a floor model corker if you're only making wine once or twice a year and in small batches only.
