    I bought a twenty-something dollar bottle of German wine the other day, got it home, and was astonished to discover it had a twist-off cap! Excellent wine though.

    Many New Zealand wines have screw tops. They have proved it stays just as fresh as a corked wine.

    Shouldn’t Fang be doing the scratching, sniffing and rubbing?

    The best way to determine the suspended boutique of a wine is to grab the bottle and take a big swig.

    Corks are old technology as they tend to disintegrate over time. Good old fashioned twist caps, properly sealed, will not. Many french winemakers are finding that their most vintage (read “expensive”) wines have been ruined due to “cork malfunctions”.

    Not to mention the difficulty (and hazard) of operating a sharp corkscrew while drunk!

    Actually, you’re not supposed to sniff the cork, you’re supposed to check and see if it is wet. If not, it hasn’t been stored properly.

    Does anyone remember the Hiney Wine commercials? “The only wine in a flip-top box!” The commercials were a joke but became so popular that some wineries now make a wine by that name.

    You do sniff the cork. It can be the first sign that a wine is “corked” and a musty smell is a good indicator of that. As for screw caps they do preserve the wine better than corks, but many wineries are switching back to corks as screw tops are not very biodegradable.
