If you are looking for class, you are simply in the wrong place. "Don't go looking for good wine under a screw cap" Quote
catbirdseat Posted November 23, 2006 Posted November 23, 2006 It's funny that you should mention screw caps, because I've heard that some of the finer wines are starting to use them. They make the perfect closure. Air tight, doesn't oxidize, won't contaminate, easy to open and easy to reclose. Quote
fenderfour Posted November 23, 2006 Posted November 23, 2006 I heard the same thing, although there are other options. A friend.. wait, why are we talking about wine here? Quote
catbirdseat Posted November 23, 2006 Posted November 23, 2006 Because wine has alcohol in it and if one were to drink enough, it would render one into a "passive" state. Quote
fenderfour Posted November 23, 2006 Posted November 23, 2006 I'm sure an admin will move this later, or point at it and say "ha ha!" So a friend has a small winery in Snohomish. He is using synthetic corks (aka rubber) instead of natural corks because they are cheaper an he can't afford any loss due to cork spoilage. Apparently, there is a specific kind of bacteria that is only present in natural corks that spoils wine. Now you know and knowing is half the battle. Quote
catbirdseat Posted November 23, 2006 Posted November 23, 2006 Well, a fungus, not bacteria, but close enough. Quote
Dechristo Posted November 23, 2006 Posted November 23, 2006 "corks", of any composition, are both passtection and actection. Quote
Dechristo Posted November 23, 2006 Posted November 23, 2006 it's the affection and infection your friend with the winery is concerned with Now you know and knowing is half the battle. As you know, knowing is half the bottle. Quote
fenderfour Posted November 23, 2006 Posted November 23, 2006 I'm way past half the bottle. Thanks CBS, sometimes I'm a retard. Quote
