The Rise of Alternative Wine Closures- Are Corks on the Way Out?
Screw top wines are a great alternative for wine lovers looking to avoid the pervasive issue of cork taint in the wine industry. Cork taint occurs when natural corks become contaminated with pollutants, impacting the aroma and taste of the wine. By choosing screw top wines, consumers can ensure a consistently high-quality and enjoyable experience without the risk of cork taint. So, consider making the switch to screw top wines for a worry-free wine experience.
The Washington Post: “Sip this charming $13 elderberry wine with a fruity dessert.
“Monty Python fans will enjoy making Dad puns when you put this wine before them. Hear them out, then have them taste it. Sweet and beautifully balanced, it’s an ideal partner for fruit-based desserts. Amateur mixologists could whip up a variety of drinks to take advantage of this wine’s garden aroma, which — how shall I say it? — smells of elderberries. The same company produces a good blackberry wine as well.” - Dave McIntyre / The Washington Post
