Cork Cap

Posted on Monday, August 25th, 2008 at 3:41 pm

Why do some bottles of wine have a screwtop cap versus a cork?

Many of the vineyards are starting to use screwtops. I read somewhere there is a shortage of cork. Screwtops do not mean it is a cheap bottle of wine. Because of the high demand of wine, cork is at a shortage. I also read that cork can crumble, dry out, break, and sometimes carry a smelly (but harmless) bacteria that taints the wine with a musty odor.
