If it really does all that they say, it will have a tremendous impact. And the patent owner will acquire many of the dollars in the world. One of the odder things about it was that it protects against water, but it also helps protect plants because it is breathable. Clean freaks will spray everything in their homes, I predict.

Is it just wine connoisseur stubborness, I'd never drink wine with a bottle cap!) You're correct. While there is small selection of wine which requires a less than 100% airtight cork, most wines can simply be capped with ordinary bottle caps. While these cheap bottle caps outperform even costly corks (expect more than 0.50 EUR for a good quality cork!), they were, in the past, only found on cheap wines. So called glass corks are an alternative for the wine connoisseur. The manufacturer of these glass corks also offers plastic corks (identical, except made of plastic), but hasn't yet sold any of these cheaper variants. It's all just perceived quality. Especially if you happen to know that the glass corks are only airtight because of a *plastic* seal. I would think the first applications, if it is as good as they say, are for building materials. Coating stone, brick, wood, etc. But even for that, I would not want to be a guinea pig. What happens after years of weathering, expansion/contraction, etc? The glass coat is said to be flexible. However, I'd be wary of anything which could emit particles. OTOH, plastic spray has been around for decades. After the solvent has evaporated, it's also chemically neutral. Yet I've still to see any hygiene maniac who covered everything with plastic. Best regards, Klaus ___ http://box535.bluehost.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l_mccmedia.com

(Incidentally, is there any reason cork is used in wine bottles other than tradition? why not a conventional bottle-cap? Is it just wine connoisseur stubborness, I'd never drink wine with a bottle cap!) Screw-on caps are becoming more common, especially for white wine. I'm also seeing more and more plastic corks. I think all that is keeping corks in use is, indeed, tradition. Another issue is silicosis. Small particles of SiO2 are known to cause lung disease. I would not want to be a test subject for spraying this stuff around the house or eating food grown or processed with it. Oh, but the article assures us: the nano-scale glass coating bonds to the surface because of the quantum forces involved. And who can argue with quantum forces?
