French term or phrase: Chevillage

Hello,

I don't completely understand the sense of 'chevillage' in this sentence :

"Réduction des phénomènes de chevillage"

The sentence is taken from a text concerning wine corks. This revolutionary cork is responsible for the 'Réduction des phénomènes de chevillage'.

Another example of its use in the text :

"Le procédé breveté de fabrication de XXX offre des performances homogènes d’un bouchon à l’autre permettant de passer parfaitement sur la chaîne de dégorgement, d’éviter les éclatements de rondelles ainsi que le chevillage."

I think it may be referring to the shape of the cork ?? I found a reference here : http://www.champagne.fr/fr/ouverture.aspx but I don't really understand the 'phénomène!'

Any ideas please?

Notes to answerer

Asker: Thanks for your reply. I really need to know that this term is specific to the phenomenon in question.

Asker: A 'pegged' cork does seem to fit. I found this too : http://books.google.com/books?id=aFFnTwAit1oC&pg=PA140&lpg=PA140&dq=pegged+corks&source=bl&ots=AYf6dFy0Ca&sig=y07DhH8g3yHV6BfOWqW35g9M-TY&hl=fr&ei=wpKqTpn6JNCd-waG4MzTDw&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=2&ved=0CCYQ6AEwAQ#v=onepage&q=pegged%20corks&f=false which seems to confirm the use of 'pegged'.

Asker: Thanks for your help, for the moment I am going to use : 'reduction in the incidence of 'pegged' corks'.
