Cork's resurgence in the wine industry
Cork, once replaced by screw caps and synthetic cork, is making a comeback in the wine industry. The removal of the chemical compound TCA that caused cork taint has significantly reduced the likelihood of corked wine, leading to renewed interest in cork as a material.
