Advice on corks and 750ml bottles

[Allan Watson]

Hi,

I have previously purchased W2576 Flint Mundstuck 750ml bottles from Rawlings and 26mm agglomerate corks from Vigo.  The bottle has a 18mm internal neck diameter according to spec sheet.

I personally find the corks difficult to remove so I was interested in other experiences or recommendations for either product.

I am aiming for 3 vols CO2 typically so wasn't expecting that I needed to increase internal pressure to help.

Or maybe I just need to pump more weights!

Thanks

French standard is 45x27 agglomerate and I never had a problem opening a bottle - just uncage the cork and turn it slightly, internal pressure does the rest.
