Hey folks,
I have a load of wine that I need to bottle up. I bottled a batch a few months ago but the corks I bought are terrible. They split and fall apart whenever I use a corkscrew on them. These are the ones:

Can someone recommend something decent, please?
Cheers

I've not seen corks with a wax solution before. My normal practice is to boil my corks in the kettle then put them in the bottle, don't have any experience with corks splitting.

I use these, silicon coated. Slightly more expensive than standard corks, but they're very easy to use, they slide into the bottles without hardly any effort & I've never had one split. I use a twin lever corking tool as well.
