A Brief Guide On How To Open Wine Bottle video

I agree, but more and more wineries are opting for screw tops. I always kind of shutter when I see them, but they are becoming VERY popular as it keeps wine better-i.e. far less bad bottles they say. Shanti/Mary-Anne

It does take away from it - screw caps on wine, I guess on this I am old school as the wine corks have meaning when I think of screw caps I think off MD 20-20 and thunderbird !! The Tortilla Guy

The ah-so is great! There is a fool proof electric corkscrew made by Oster that is so effortless. Of course in a few years we won't even need a corkscrew as most wineries are going to screw caps. Yes screw caps. We always think of screw caps as only on cheap wine, but those days are gone with more and more wineries switching over. I know I still think a good bottle of wine should be cork finished but there are several reasons wineries are switching to the screw off tops. One of Burgundy’s biggest and most controversial wine merchants, Jean-Claude Boisset, has decided to bottle half his 50-case production of 2005 Chambertin with a metal screw cap and half with cork. The move makes Maison Jean-Claude Boisset the first French wine company to bottle with screw caps on a Grand Cru red. The wines typically sell for $200 per bottle or more. The main reason for switching is that thewines actually "keep" and age better sans the corks. Shanti/Mary-Anne
