Recent years have brought about the debate which closure type is better for wine, cork or screw top.  I feel it really comes down to a matter of personal opinion. Screw top closures are perfect for traveling or picnics. This is a convenient and easy way to open your wine and not have to worry about bringing a bottle opener. On the other hand, if you are dining at a nice restaurant and the waiter presents your wine then unscrews the bottle, you lose a bit of the romance in the wine. With more wines being produced and bottled with screw caps restaurants may need to change their lingo from a “corkage fee” to a “screwage fee”.

My personal opinion is I have tasted great wines that have been bottled both ways and will continue to buy both types of wine.  There are occasions I prefer one over the other, but when it comes down to the taste they are equally great. What’s your opinion?
