Or screw tops. A few years back a bunch of major winemakers in Australia said "screw it, we're not using corks anymore!" (pun intended) People told them they were crazy, that the market thought screw tops were for cheap junk wine only, but they did it. And it worked. Now only bottles going to export markets use corks. You lose the ritual of uncorking a bottle, but it's a lot more practical to open and there is no danger of the wine being corked.
