When it comes to corking, are synthetic corks all they're cracked up to be?

There are many options available when it comes to filling and corking wine bottles. While pure, natural corks have become more expensive and limited in availability, there are other options. There are pore filled corks, agglomerated corks, "twin disk" corks, and synthetic corks. Which you use will depend on several factors such as cost, availability, and expected cellaring time. All types are better suited to different situations, and your retailer should be able to help with specific situations.
