I was reading in Food and Wine that the wine industry is going to be trending toward screw-cap bottling, no joke. It's really just a matter of overcoming consumer perceptions. The cork is getting too expensive and the plastic has it's own disposal problems. Additionally, cork doesn't provide a consistent storage solution for the wine that a screw top does. Many a vintage bottle of wine has been opened to find that it has been ruined by a bad cork. Get your corks while you can. --- Deborah Duran <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
