ksmithPertaining to the wine discussion below.
I opened a bottle of chardonnay late last week. Inserted the corkscrew. Twisted.
The corkscrew went in much too easily. Took a good look at the top, and realized it was a screw-top. I know that cheaper wines have always had screw tops, but this wasn't bottom of the line wine. I had heard that winemakers were trending away from corks, but I didn't know how far the movement had gone.
I still haven't gotten used to plastic corks...
