"The rigour applied to the independent evaluation of the ZORK exceeds most commercial trials and parallels benchmark closure research.

The key attributes of the closure in the Provisor trial are:

  • ZORK does not cause taint or scalp wine aromas or flavours
  • The consistency of ZORK is similar to screw cap
  • Screw cap appears more likely to cause "reduced" aromas than ZORK
  • ZORK offers a product shelf-life (SO2 retention) approaching that of screw cap

I am very encouraged by the performance of ZORK in the trial. ZORK is a closure deserving serious consideration by winemakers."
Peter Leske (Independent Advisor)

"Everyone who opens the ZORK on our Le Bon Vin de la Napa Valley has remarked in an overwhelmingly positive fashion.  Wholesalers, retailers, consumers, even other wineries love the look, feel, sound, and practicality of ZORK, and we have big plans to move ahead with this closure in the future." 
Donny Sebastiani, Don Sebastiani & Sons 

"The response to ZORK from everyone we spoke to in the United States was quite amazing! Everyone just went "WOW". They loved it."
Ben Riggs, Winemaker, Penny's Hill

"ZORK is the most exciting and revolutionary innovation I've seen in the wine industry in the last 25 years."
Philip White
Winewriter

"I'd rather bottle with ZORK than other closures any day. It makes my life heaps easier.

  • No vacuum problems
  • No looking after corker jaws
  • No Bell Guide changes
  • No vacuum pumps
  • No tuck and thread rollers
  • No breaking bridges
  • No torque tension settings

You don't have to treat them like babies. You'll break the bottle before you break a ZORK."
Brett Forsyth
Bottling Manager, Red Knot Wines

"ZORK, the new adventure of elegantly resealing a bottle of fine wine, will be a great pleasure for the hospitality industry."
Primo Caon
Restaurateur, Chesser Cellars

"We don't tolerate any failure in baked beans. Why should we tolerate any closure failure in wine?"
Philip Reedman
Product Development Manager, TESCO Stores

"ZORK strikes me as a revolutionary packaging technology that effectively seals the bottle while preserving both the wine and its brand image."
Brian Miller
Marketing Manager, International Vintners

"Our customers love the stylish appearance of our premium wines bottled under ZORK and they are unanimously enthusiastic about the 'peeling' and 'popping' aspect of ZORK. (No more corkscrew battles.) After the successful introduction of ZORK, we now bottle our entire range of wines under ZORK."
Bob and Dianne Morrison, Winemakers, Morrisons of Glenrowan

"I bottled 50% of our Pinot Blanc under ZORK last year. Our customers love it so much we will bottle 100% of our 2005 wines with ZORK."
Ray Watson, Bentwood Wines

"We love the ZORKs. They are easy to use, look really cool on the bottle and the customers love them.

We love ZORK. They are easy to use, responsive to feedback and support their product really well.
We have sealed our entire production of labelled wine with ZORKs and plan to keep it that way."
Benjamin Baker, Winemaker, Stonyhill Winery

"I don't have any doubt from a technical point of view that the wines will age under ZORK extremely well, same as screw cap, possibly even better."
Grant Whelan, Winemaker, Bentwood Wines

"A note to let you know that we ZORKed about 70 bottles of Cab Sauv today. They look great and taste even better . . . I believe you have a winner. It is nice to know that we were one of the first to use ZORK."
Hedley Sandler, Winemaker

"As promised I am reporting on the opening of one of the original (Stump Jump) wine bottled under a ZORK label. To my taste (not a connoisseur) it tasted as good as a freshly bottled one."
Colin Neave, Villa Grenache B&B, McLaren Vale
