I am bottling my first wine soon. However, I am not sure if I should invest in a winged corker, or a floor corker. What are the pros and cons of each, and which should I invest in?

Floor corker :

  • A bit more expensive
  • Much more stable to use
  • Bigger, more space required to store

Winged corker :

  • Less expensive
  • Less stable to use (requires much more care)
  • Easy to store

I have a floor corker that I bought for about 50$ and I bottled over 100 bottles with it. The stability is the key, it works so well, no worries to tip a bottle, etc. I would recommend the floor corker without hesitation.
