Guest: Carlos De Jesus, Director of Communications Amorim Cork
Ever wondered about the intricacies of cork production and its sustainability? Join us as we chat with Carlos de Jesus from Amorim Cork, the world's largest cork producer, to unravel the captivating history of cork and debunk the myth that screw caps are more sustainable than cork. With an estimated 21 billion bottles produced globally each year, the cork industry plays a crucial role in winemaking, and Carlos shares his extensive knowledge on the subject.
Discover the importance of cork forests in preserving biodiversity and balancing people, planet, and profit, as we delve into the challenges of eliminating cork taint and maintaining top-notch quality control. We also explore the various construction techniques and types of stoppers available, while learning about Amorim Cork's commitment to environmental sustainability. Grab a glass of your favorite wine and learn why the cork's signature 'pop' has become a universal sign of celebration.
As we taste two Portuguese wines, Carlos guides us through the dynamic relationship between nature and technology and Amorim's role in creating innovative solutions. We discuss the significance of educating future consumers about the impact of their decisions and the cultural roles of specific beverages. Finally, we touch on the various uses of recycled cork and how Amorim Cork has been a leader in the cork industry. Cheers to gaining fascinating insights into the world of cork!
