i use to keep them just in case one of mine broke while i was opening it but I'm loving the cork board idea

I collected over 200 corks this summer - I work in the alcohol business and had a lot of bars/restaurant workers saving them for me. I made a corkboard out of them all - its huge and gorgeous and a great piece to talk about. Currently I've started collecting again to make a second one in a much nicer framer and with an assortment of different corks. The first one was mostly the same 6-7 mainstream wine brands. The ones I'm collecting now are a bit more unique.

I'm saving mine to make a cork board too! I think I almost have enough.... Well I would have enough but I save the wine bottles that I really like or that have fun interesting labels and put them up on my windowsill! I have about 40 bottles up there, complete with their corks sticking out.

We do, and like many others I'm not sure why, but not those weird plastic ones. Just the real cork!

I have been keeping them... and I don't know why either. I finally started throwing them out... just keeping the special ones in a pretty glass bowl. I also started marking the date on the "special" ones and maybe who I drank it with... so when I go through them - I take a little happy trip down memory lane.
