Apologies for the delay but I missed this.

And yes. Long gone.

So far as I know, no UK beer is made nowadays with a wired cork (although the style is common enough in Belgium and France).

The only UK beer still sealed with a cork (which is of the cylindrical type) is Gale's Prize Old Ale.

So far as Whitbreads is concerned - the brewery is the nearest we have to Anheuser Busch. Aquisitorial, ruthless and makes no good beer.

You are far too kind.

Whitbread were famous for buying and closing breweries which were going concerns :(

CAMRA (UK) even had a T-shirt printed, "The Whitbread Tour of Destruction", listing the breweries they closed.

They have sold every brewery and are now into hotels and leisure.
