Portuguese Floor Corker

Portuguese Floor Corker

Fast, easy and well built. The value for the cost is very high. It takes seconds to operate and really no way to do it wrong

With my first batch of wine I tried using a cheap corking tool with a soft mallet. One of the bottles ended up shattering and stabbing me in the hand. If you're going to be bottling wine, I would highly recommend getting a corker like this. It would have saved me a trip to the ER and some stitches if I had gotten this one in the first place. The unit didn't come with any instructions.

Even though I only do small batches, I decided to get this floor corker instead of a hand corker. I am very impressed with the quality, especially for the price. Assembly is just one screw to for the feet. I used it for 20 bottles (375 ml) with #9 synthetic corks. Soaking the corks doesn't seem to do anything special (plastic doesn't absorb water), but soaking or just dipping them in water resulted in a slightly deeper position in the bottle. Once you get the depth set, use a bit of blue Loctite thread locker to keep the thumbwheel from moving. If you are using half bottles, you need to use a soup can or something to between the pad and the bottle. I needed to wipe some grease on the rod that holds the pad. I suggest setting the bottle in place before the cork, so you can see that the bottle is aligned properly. BOTTOM LINE: I am very happy that I bought this.

I had pretty high expectations for this, having heard a lot about how this style floor corker is leaps and bounds better than hand corkers. For my first batch of mead, I wanted to do it right the first time so I skipped the hand corker and bought one of these. It far exceeded my already-high expectations. Build quality seems great, it's very heavy duty. It will likely outlive me, at this point, and I'm in my 30's. Not only did it make the bottling process incredibly easy, but the corking was the funnest part of the whole process. Highly recommend one of these.

This makes bottling so easy, I wish I would have just started with this instead of battling the hand corker.

Corker works great. Should of had it years ago............

Thanks for the great price and excellent customer service.

No problems at all with this floor corker. Works well, easy to put together.

Easy to assemble, works great.

I had the option to rent or borrow a corker, but I figured I'd just pony up the money and get one for myself. This one came nicely packaged, was really easy to assemble, felt sturdy, and just worked. Operation is quite simple. Cork into the iris, push the spring to get the bottle in position (there's a groove that accepts the top of the bottle so that it stays in place), and crank the cork in. I would highly recommend to anyone who is borrowing a corker or thinking of buying one for themselves. You won't be disappointed.

This item is so awesome...extremely easy to assemble and works very slick!!

I've come to expect any new piece of equipment, even something with as simple of an action as this corker, to be a little quirky, but I followed the really basic instruction I'd seen for softening up a cork, put a bottle on the stand and a cork in the jaws and it was done.

I did my first wine bottling and this made putting the corks in very easy. Getting all 29 bottles corked was a breeze and painless. It will be awhile before my next batch is ready for bottling but I know it will be a pleasurable experience with this corker.

I don't ever do reviews. But I bought this floor corker and its the best. Product came quicker than expected too. Highly recommend this, easy too.

Absolutely love this Corker, easy to use.

Got it very quickly but it sat because I was fermenting my first kit. Bottled yesterday and it couldn't have been slicker! Just love it. Worth every penny.

First time to order from Home Brewing. So I purchase different items to get started. My friend who got me started this year, started doing his wine last year. He used a hand corker and said it worked good. After crushing my grapes and waiting for bottle. I started looking into a corker for me. The Portuguese Floor Corker is the ticket. Would say if you are to continue making wine. Buy this product. It easy and smooth.

I depend a lot on good product and company reviews for my online buying decisions, but don''t usually like to write. But I was very pleased with the floor corker and your company''s customer service. 5 stars for both.

My new corker worked so well ....it was a breeze.

We received the corker very quickly, and it was just as advertised. We put it to work bottling and corking a bunch of 375 ml bottles of homemade wine for our grandson''s wedding favors. We corked 144 bottles altogether; and we still have another 15 gallons to bottle. It proved very useful, and was a good value, as well.

I sure am glad I purchased the floor model corker because it is very easy to cork bottles with it. Also, thanks for fast shipping and great customer service.

I sent the floor corker to my son''s family for added pleasure as new wine makers. They had high praises for the ease of use when they bottled for the first time. Thank you for the fast shipping. I''m sure it will be used and enjoyed for many years.
