[QUOTE="trinityroyal, post: 407210, member: 3907"] A lot of the "good" Canadian wines are using synthetic corks. Avoids the el-cheapo associations that many have with the screw-top, while also avoiding issues with spoilage and availability of corks. I also find the synthetic corks easier to remove AND to shove back in the bottle to re-seal it. I have a few of those re-sealing doo-dads lying around, but can never find them when I need them. DDD, what matters is whether you enjoy what you're drinking, not what other people think of it. My favourites are blush wines, which until recently were considered terribly unfashionable among my wine afficionado friends. So I carried on drinking blush while they sneered. All of a sudden, my favourites are getting write-ups in the wine magazines as the next big thing, and everyone else is drinking it too. When it passes out of fashion again, I'll still be drinking it... Find what you like, and don't worry about the critics (either professionals OR friends). [/QUOTE]
