In the early days wine was kept in wooden barrels and was served as quickly as possible. The wine decanter was popular in this period. It was because they had no way to seal wine in a container. Wine did not begin to be aged until the invention of the glass bottle and a cork was used to seal it. This was first done in England. Corks were used in other applications, one of which was to clean gun barrels. Corks allowed for the wine to be aged. This changed wine forever.
