Renowned sparkling wine and California Champagne producer, Korbel,​ implements stringent quality-control processes throughout its production process. Here a Mecmesin CombiCork cork Extraction Tester is used to measure the release torque behaviour of the cork closure.

The system enables the most accurately representative helical motion to be applied during cork removal. Once initially released, the pressure inside the bottle facilitates the complete removal of the cork. The CombiCork can accommodate a range of bottle sizes and includes a safety enclosure. It is invaluable to cork manufacturers and sparkling wine producers alike.
