updated Portuguese corker description
Experienced Milk The Funk members recommend three '''Floor Corker''' brands <ref>[https://www.facebook.com/groups/MilkTheFunk/permalink/1044725398889007/ Conversation on Milk The Funk. Input from Mark Fry, Jeff Porn, and Allen Stone. 3/27/2015.]</ref>.
* Portuguese Floor Corker (low end route) - Corking made easy. Single lever action with a brass plastic Iris that squeezes the cork and the adjustable depth plunger pops it right in to your desired depth. Works great even on the fat Belgian beer corks and is perfect for any standard wine corks or bottles. A small amount of assembly is required (it’s like one screw, no big deal) <ref>[http://www.rebelbrewer.com/shop/winemaking-equipment/floor-corker-portuguese Rebel Brewer. Retrieved 3/27/2015.]</ref>.

* Italian (Ferrari) Floor Corker (high end route) - The Italian Floor Corker is the Cadillac of corkers. This corker is very similar to the Portuguese corker, but with some upgrades. It is equipped with a brass iris compression fitting instead of plastic. A long handle gives you plenty of leverage and the corks go in effortlessly. This corker is very easy to use, and will last any hobby vintner a lifetime <ref>[http://www.midwestsupplies.com/italian-floor-corker.html?utm_medium=feeds&utm_source=google&gclid=Cj0KEQjw_9OoBRChj9vMo5CHrdUBEiQAJ6YRPTU2NZV34edlT4EqGtcHFBAZxc0LNW-GFGBsq9yFYWwaAgf08P8HAQ Midwest Supplies.
