Cork vs. Screwcap

[Randy Caparoso]

I'm sure you'll agree that the "one day" that may happen will actually be out of both our hands, Foodie. I tend to believe things when I see it, and if the industry moves to one closure or another, I'll definitely be a believer.

I'll admit, quite manfully, that once or twice over the past two decades I've been wrong. Ten or so years ago, for instance, I wrote a story in a hotel & restaurant publication that consumers are definitely headed towards lighter, more food-variable wines like Cabernet Franc, Blue Franc, Grenache blends, etc., and away from heavy, unwieldy things like Cabernet Sauvignon and super-ripe Zinfandels. Talk about mud in the eye!
