As I tried to say, obviously not clearly enough, in my previous post
("Rather, I buy in 100 piece bags (Altec corks), and try to get each of
those from separate lots (1,000 piece bags) from my retailer") I buy
100 piece bags at different times, specifically from differing 1,000
piece lots so as to lessen the likelihood of a TCA contamination going
beyond any one 100 piece bag.

? Where do you think the 100 corks come from? Cork companies package them in
1,000 per bag. You just got 1/10 of that bag.Wine distributors just
repackage them.
