The Cork Truck is just one of the cork masterpieces created by Jan Elftman, known as the Queen of Corks. She worked in an Italian restaurant for thirteen years and she managed to collect around 10,000 corks, so don’t worry, she didn’t drink 10,000 bottles of wine.
Her Cork Truck is one of the most popular vehicles on the internet, but covering it with corks also has more practical purposes. Cork is naturally impermeable, water resistant and provides buoyancy. It’s amazing how popular wine-corks are these days. Some people convert their cars into wine-cork trucks, others to make wine-cork house and even insulate their costumes.
