corking
Corking is a process commonly associated with bottling, especially in winemaking, where a cork is inserted into the neck of a bottle to prevent air from entering and spoiling its content. It can also refer to the act of replacing or fitting corks in other containers. In sports like baseball or softball, corking refers to the illegal practice of altering a wooden bat by replacing part of the core with cork to make it lighter.
