The next time you open a bottle of wine think of Portugal.  Did you know Portugal produces half of the worlds wine corks from cork trees like the one shown here.  They remove the outer side of the tree every 9 years to make corks. The good news is the tree just grows the cork back with no harm to the tree.  

BTW; cork is used for lots of other things like; shoes, purses, and bracelets like the one I’m wearing now.
