When we we in the USA last year we were surprised to find almost all of
the wine under cork. Pretty much all Australian wine, even premium
stuff that I can't afford to drink, has been bottled under screw cap for
about the last 10 years. There was some debate initially about whether
cork or screw cap was better but the general consensus seems to be that
screw cap causes less problems and wines keep longer. Of course, they
may not develop in bottle in the same way as wine under cork.
Interesting thing though ...
There's a little store around the corner from my house & they carry a
few bottles of wine that are not MD 20/20 or Wild Irish Rose; wine meant
to entertain guests rather than for drinking under a RR bridge ...
Anyway, one of the wines they sell is Yellowtail, imported from
Australia, and it is corked.
I think wine made for export to the USA will be bottled under cork
because that market expects it to be that way. Yellowtail sold in
Australia is screw capped.
