		APCOR points to Portugal's Subercentro cork processing facility--which happens to be owned by APCOR's current president--as a prime example of the industry's commitment to the elimination of TCA.
		This is quite a change in attitude from previous years, when the cork industry tended to downplay the issue and point to "improper storage" on the wineries' part as a major cause of the TCA problem.
		APCOR is also targeting consumers directly with a multi-million-dollar advertising campaign, the first in the organization's history.

		Apcor quotes research, done in January 2002 among wine drinkers in Australia, UK and USA, which it commissioned, showing that 75% expressed a preference for natural cork, with just 9% for plastic stoppers.
		Apcor is eager to persuade consumers and producers that cork alone is not always to blame for wine taint and that poor quality and hygiene control in bottle manufacturing and the bottling process can increase the chances of contamination.

	Winexpression » Blog Archive » APCOR and Balzac: Screwcaps are illegal
		The dynamic duo is at it again, with a new press release that highlights the recent anti-competitive law miraculously passed at the end of 2005, banning alternative closures from being used on any wines from 11 regions in Spain.
		Balzac quotes Elisa Pedro, Director of Communication & International Relations for APCOR (Portuguese Cork Association), absurdly insinuating “this is another endorsement for cork closures”, and that ‘Spanish lawmakers are responding to wine drinkers with this law’.
		APCOR is notorious for it’s one-sided marketing and twisting of facts, it’s surprising they had enough credibility to entice a U.S. PR firm to continue promoting their facade.

	Good Grape Wine Co.: A Manifesto
		But, mostly, this strikes me as odd because cork is in the supply chain for wineries and this consumer-facing activity must be because APCOR (the Portugese Cork Association and client for Balzac) is more than a little bit nervous about the encroaching competition from alternative closures.
		APCOR does have a polished web site that can be found here.
		If I were running APCOR I would not spend a single cent on downstream consumer marketing until I had managed and mitigated all of the risk that I could via research on actual rate of incidence, and subsequent testing on the elimination of TCA in corks.

	ABC News: Some Wineries Choose Screw Caps Over Cork
		Fed up with tainted corks ruining some of their finest bottles, eager to reach more consumers, and inspired by studies out of Australia and California suggesting the once-humble screw cap offers better quality control for some wines, wineries are contemplating ditching corks for the easy-off tops.
		Citing a new study by Britain's Wine and Spirit Association, APCOR says the actual rate of spoilage is far lower than some wine industry figures say, and that spoilage from other causes sometimes gets blamed on cork.
		APCOR adds an independent study it commissioned shows consumers have an overwhelming preference for wine sealed with cork — perhaps something for wine producers to keep in mind.

		In perhaps the most surprising revelation, the 'type of closure' was ranked as the fourth most important factor in wine choice with 26 percent of respondents claiming it was a 'very important factor'.
		Francisco de Brito Evangelista, the director of APCOR's International Campaign for Cork, commented: "This research revealed some facts that we have know for some time - that, ultimately, consumers still prefer natural cork stoppers for their wine and that real cork is still viewed as a indication of a quality wine.
