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?
