Yes that's a valid point, glass or screw caps are also used increasingly in Europe now, but cork remains in heavy use especially for the pricier wines. In France (and many other countries) it would be very difficult to sell a "good" wine with a screw top, as people just expect the cork as part of the "user experience".
- danieltillett 11y agoThere was quite a lot of initial consumer resistance when first introduced, but over time we all got used to it. Even very expensive wines uses screw caps these days - not getting wine that is “corked” (i.e. tastes like wet newspaper) anymore is fantastic. Screwcaps really are a superior way to seal wine.
