Cork is composed of suberin, a hydrophobic substance, and because of its impermeability, buoyancy, elasticity, and fire resistance, it is used in a variety of products.
Cork's elasticity combined with its near-impermeability makes it suitable as a material for bottle stoppers, especially for wine bottles.
Sometimes a wine can have an unpleasant aroma (oftentimes caused by hydrogen sulfide, a byproduct of the fermentation process) that is completely trapped inside a screw-capped bottle. A cork, porous by nature, might let the unwanted aroma leak out.
