It is mostly avoidance of glass-glass seals for bases, particularly strong alkalis, that is required. Glass is slowly attacked by strong alkalis and many bases react with atmospehric carbon dioxide - both reactions can lead to the formation of compounds that effectively cement together a glass-glass seal. You get the same reactions within a rubber/plastic-glass seal, but the plasticity of the seal makes the stopper relatively easy to remove.
Corks are typically used to close wine bottles as they create a seal to prevent air from entering the bottle and affecting the wine's taste and aroma. Corks are natural and porous, allowing a small amount of oxygen to interact with the wine over time to help it develop and mature.
