A wine corker is a specialized tool that allows you to insert a cork into your bottle in a quick, easy, and safe manor. Corkers work by first compressing the cork, then inserting it into the bottle in a single motion. All you need to do is place a cork in the mechanism, position the bottle correctly and pull the lever(s) down until the cork is fully inserted. Voila, the bottle is sealed!
Once sealed, the bottles should remain upright for 2-3 days to allow the pressure in the bottle to equalize and the cork to fully conform to the neck of the bottle. If you are using natural corks, then after these 2-3 days go ahead and turn the bottles on their side and store them that way until the wine is consumed. (Storing the wine on its' side helps keep the corks moist by being in contact with the wine. This ensures that the cork will not dry out, shrink or crack which would allow oxygen in and ruin the wine). If you are using synthetic closures, however, the wine can be safely stored upright and does not require being stored on its side.
A quick note on using synthetic closures:
Hand corkers are not designed to work with synthetic corks. If you wish to use synthetic closures then you will need to use a floor corker to do the job.

Tenco Pneumatic Bottle Corker | Benchtop Wine Bottle Corker | 400 Bottles/Hour
Cork up to 400 bottles per hour with the StarCap pneumatic corking machine Air-driven semi-automatic bottle corker makes the process efficient and effortless Compatible with all natural, agglomerated, collated, and 1+1 agglomerated corks Air pressure regulator with manometer allows for pressure adjustments depending on the cork being used Made in Italy by Tenco The StarCap semi-automatic bottle corker from Tenco provides excellent corking capacity for small wineries or avid home vintners. It is pneumatically driven so you will need an air compressor to operate the corking action. Wine corks are manually inserted into the cone then, by pressing the two start buttons, the cork is inserted into the bottle neck of the wine bottle by slightly compressing the cork. The StarCap machine guarantees perfect integrity, doesn’t create seems on the surface, and doesn’t affect the material in any way. Our customers who love this corker are primarily using it because using a traditional floor corker to cork hundreds of bottles of wine is physically taxing... unless you have a lot of help. If you have a lot of help on bottle day running two floor corkers is approximately the same speed. Specifications: Capacity: 400 bottles/hour Power: Compressed Air Air Connection: Push-to-connect fitting for 8mm (5/16") OD rigid tubing Can be converted to barb with 1/4" BSPP male threaded adapter Max Diameter: 25 mm Max Height: 45 mm Minimum Bottle Height: 200 mm Max Bottle Height: 370 mm Compatible Corks: Natural, agglomerated, collated, 1+1 agglomeration
