What is the use of the rubber stopper in the laboratory?
From Wikipedia:A bung is truncated cylindrical or conical closure to seal a container, such as a bottle, tube or barrel. Unlike a lid which encloses a container from the outside without displacing the inner volume a bung is partially inserted inside the container to act as a seal. The lids for safety overpacks for 55 gallon drums sometimes may have a bung built in for access of the contents of the container. These may be referred to as fuel bungs.A rubber stopper is sometimes called a rubber bung, and a cork stopper is called a cork. Sometimes bung stoppers used for wine bottles are referred to as "corks", even though made from another material.
Why is methane important to the earth?
Methane is a very important discovery, because all animals produce it, and it is very deadly. No joke. If you are in a barn that is not ventilated, with 1 cow, then you will die within 48 hours if you do not get any fresh air. Methane is as deadly as cyanide. People are often found dead in their homes after eating foods that cause them to over-produce methane, if their house has poor ventilation. It is an occurance that happens as often as family food poisoning. You can also trap methane in a bottle, and inhale it to get high. Many children in 3rd world countries do this because they have nothing else to do, and most of them end up dead. Methane is also used as one of the world's main ingredients of aluminum and tin. These metals could not be made at all without a supply of methane, which is produced by cows and horses in most metal industries. If you are afraid of dying of methane poisoning, then they have corks you can use to keep yourself plugged up from exuding methane. This was very popular during medieval times when they did not know what methane was, but found out people were dying from the gases exuded from the human body when there was poor ventilation.
What is the use of cork borer in the laboratory?
A cork borer is used to make a hole through the middle of a cork stopper, usually in order to insert a delivery tube through it. Now that synthetic rubber bungs can be readily bought with the holes already made, and interchangeable ground glass joints are relatively cheaper than they used to be, cork stoppers are used less frequently. If you do need to use the procedure, get someone to show you how to do it safely, particularly the insertion of the glass tube when the hole is made.
What are synthetic corks made of?
This post does not directly answer the question posed, but opens an issue that is relevant to their use. I have a concern about the increasing use of synthetic plastic wine corks, quite apart from the sustainability aspect of the argument. Plastic corks are most likely impregnated with plasticiser chemicals, to render the cork malleable and (I guess) to provide lubrication for their insertion into the neck of a wine bottle. Of course, corks made from the natural material do not need chemical intervention apart from sterilisation - they are naturally malleable. My concern, felt for some time now, is that the plasticiser in synthetic corks may leach into the wine on prolonged contact - I do not know if this aspect of their use has been looked into. I remember that there was a scare some years ago, about the migration of plasticisers in PVC cling film into the food it was used to protect. This resulted in the launch of a few 'safer' alternatives, appearing to justify these concerns, but the whole issue melted away through apathy, and remains inexplicably quiet. Does anyone have any knowledge of any work that has been done in this area, to establish whether the use of synthetic corks in wine bottles is toxicologically safe?
When purchasing wine supplies, should I purchase extra corks for the bottles?
You will invariably lose or ruin a certain number of corks. It should be less than five percent however. Since corks won't be overly expensive you should just add a few extra to your order. That's a matter of choice, but corks aren't expensive and you would eventually need more corks any way. So if you order some extra corks it's not going to be all that expensive.

What to do if while uncorking a wine bottle the cork falls inside?
If the wine is an expensive wine, it will probably be ruined by a defective cork. An inexpensive wine will not be helped by a defective cork, but the damage is less noticeable. You will need to use a better corkscrew to remove the remaining part of the cork. You may have to strain the wine to get the bits out. Many taste tests have shown that there is no difference observed in the quality of wine with synthetic corks vs. natural corks. The plastic corks are quite inexpensive and do not break apart. Most wine lovers have an aversion to screwtops, but the fact is that screwtops are as effective at preserving wine as corks.
