I was doing some travelling back in 2002 or so, and spent several weeks in Naples. I was shocked at how inexpensive wine was, at around 2 euro per bottle (at the time, the euro and the dollar were very close). Then I learned that the cork cost about 1 euro to produce (supported by this article), which I found even more shocking.
Why don't more old world wineries go to the twist top?

(but these are the real bad ones :-) ). i'd say you could buy medium quality cork stoppers for 20-30 cents each. Note, we're not talking of cost values but the final market prices.
