BNS you total wine snob! I suppose you also object to synthetic corks too?

Personally I don't care what it comes in so long as it tastes good.

One of the nicest wines I tasted was a very cheap French plonk that came with a plastic top.  Ok if you drink it close to purchase.

HOWEVER if it is a wine that can be laid down for a while it has to be a proper cork.

Out of interest my dear BNS what is your favourite red wine?

I had a lovely wine last night, and it had a screw top. It was a Pasquiers - Shiraz Viognier.

I'm not saying that it is OK to put a screw top on a good wine. But making the point that not every wine with a screw top is crap.

I was just about to explain this point to one of the guys I am working with here when he suddenly started saying how wonderful he thought it was!

Said it solved all the issues of great wines suffering from being corked.

I thought that was a contradiction in terms too.

Dear Dave,

Do you mind if I answer that one?

YES!!

It is a sacrilege to sell half-decent wine on a screw-top bottle.
Le Piat D'Or and anything else I could clean my bike chain with can have a screw-top as much as they want. Then again, rubbish wine shouldn't be sold at all!

If you ever fall for the 'buy my last copy' trick from a big issue seller and see them stocking back up off their mates, tell the police you saw them giving kids crack, works a treat
