For wines meant for drinking young I would say that they are generally the better choice. Wines for ageing may be a different story as some oxygen is desirable. <BR/><BR/>Maybe screw caps increase the incidences of reduction(problem due to lack of oxygen), a rubbery, sulphury smell, but this is not nearly as problematic as cork taint.<BR/><BR/>I'm always happy with a screw cap because I can get at the wine quicker. Saying that, cork is a whole lot more romantic and ritualistic and we all need a bit of romance and ritual in our lives. <BR/><BR/>Let's hope the staff in the Itaewon restaurant got to drink the rest of the bottle when the wine 'expert' left.squirrelandgmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10020661110184573506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11205254.post-6204783562673742722008-11-23T12:20:00.000+09:002008-11-23T12:20:00.000+09:00That is the utmost in disgusting ignorant pretensi...That is the utmost in disgusting ignorant pretension. I hate wine snobs as much as food snobs. You put forth a great article in the Herald.<BR/><BR/>Didn't a Japanese study come out recently that showed that screw caps were more effective than corks?ZenKimchihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00081373174186807282noreply@blogger.com
