Jeandet YR 2001 UL http://www.ajevonline.org/content/52/3/280.abstract AB To study its protective effect on Champagne wine pollution with 2,4,6-trichloroanisole, a composite cork stopper was compared to a standard one. After 14 days, bottles corked with the standard stoppers were contaminated, while bottles corked with the composite stoppers remained uspoiled even after one year.Acknowledgments: The authors thank the Union Champagne Society and the Association Recherche Oenologie Champagne-Université for financial support.
