Most Aussie wines are doing the shift to screwcaps. Even the 'flagship'
wines like Penfolds.

Screwcaps = nil spoilage, which equates to less $$'s lost for the wineries,
and means your wine is *always* good when you crack the seal.

I used to be a 'cork' guy, but now prefer the screwcaps.

It makes it easier to crack one for the SO :-)
