Years ago when I was fairly new to the world of wine someone asked me if I would ever use synthetic corks (let alone screw caps)...Never! I replied. Well of course now I use them happily and completely endorse their usage. It makes such sense. Why shouldn't the producers make a closure that helps save them loss due to cork taint not to mention a cap that is easier to get off for a person who buys a bottle at the store? I am a traditionalist at heart and admit to being attached to the ceremony of opening a bottle of wine, but for the right wine a screw cap is aok.
Lesson re-learned: Never say never.
