Thanks for the link, quite informative. Personnaly I am not wedded to cork. But with the production of wines that have less aging potential than in the past, I am not so sure that the closure will matter anymore. Aging a red wine for 30 years just will not happen anymore and wines of the past will never again become available. Since better production can now flatten out the variation between years better, it had reduced the possibility for wine such as the great vintage years in Europe. No more 1959, 1961 and the like Bordeaux.

So as long as the closure can last until the consumer drinks the wine without any perceived effect, who cares what type of closure? -Dick
