Default Italian Home brewers

I use crown caps quite frequently, and I suspect I'm not the only one.
They are excellent closures although thus far I have not bottle aged
wine in them beyond two years (but still working on that!.

I most often use them for putting wine (esp. dessert wine) in small
beer bottles. But I will also often put some of our 'house wines' into
beer bottles such that we have access to smaller bottles for those
evenings when a full bottle is just too much.

But I don;t think we have issue with corks that your Italian friends
do, do you?
