One of the biggest arguments amidst wine lovers is not Red vs. White, or French wine vs. California wine. One of the greatest arguments that you’ll listen among wine lovers is natural cork vs. screw caps. That’s right… whether or not wine bottles will have to be sealed with established cork stoppers, or with screw caps. Each method of sealing the wine bottle has it’s good points and it’s bad points.

Traditional corks are underneath attack, for the most part for the reason that they could grant the wine to become “corked”. That is, the wine reacts with a substance called trichloroanisole. This substance is formed when the chlorine, which is used to sanitize the cork, reacts with a mold that grows in numerous cork. Trichloranisole, or TCA, causes a musty odor, and a flat, moldy flavor. An approximated 5-10% of wines on merchant shelves are “corked”.

Natural corks are likewise not always easy to remove from the bottle. With the old spiral corkscrew, you have to put it in the cork just right, and not screw it in too far. And even if you get the corkscrew into the cork just right, pieces of the cork do crumble into the wine.

That isn’t to say that cork stoppers are bad. They do grant the wine to breathe a bit. Their porous nature allows oxygen into the bottle, and other gases out. Some experts say that this is what allows wine to age. Others, however, assert that it is the compounds in the wine that grant aging. One of the other good things when it comes to natural corks, is the satisfying “pop” as it comes out of the bottle. A screw cap can’t compare with the drama and romance of popping a cork out of the neck of the bottle.

You may have also seen synthetic corks in some bottles of wine. These stoppers, rather of being made from natural cork bark, are made from plastic. Synthetic corks are even harder to get out of the bottle than natural corks, and near out of the question to put back into the bottle, if you need to put the bottle away after opening. Synthetic corks have likewise been known to concede the wine to oxidize, which causes flatness in the wine. It takes away galore of the chemicals that form an crucial part of the wine aroma.

Screw caps, on the other hand, seem to be the perfective solution for sealing a bottle of wine. Screw caps don’t grant the wine to become “corked”, like natural corks. They’re requiring little effort to remove than both natural and synthetic corks. And they don’t concede the wine to oxidize like synthetic corks. There is some argument in regards to whether screw caps grant the wine to age, like a natural cork does. Since aging a bottle of wine may take 5-50 years, and the screw cap is a comparatively recent development, it will take a lot of time to determine whether or not the wine will age as well.

So, screw caps make a good seal for a bottle of wine. But they do have the huge drawback of not being as dramatic as a cork. Close your eyes for a moment, and imaging going to a imagination restaurant for a romantic dinner with your spouse. The waiter brings out a bottle of the most pricey wine, then unscrews a bottle cap. It just doesn’t have the flair of pulling a cork.

In the future it’s likely that you’ll see more and more wine being sealed with a screw cap than with a cork. Personally, the vantages seem to be in favor of the screw cap. But with proper storage, a good bottle of wine may liven up a party or meal, no matter whether it’s sealed with a cap or a cork.

Breaks Easily!
By Mockingbird
As a warning to those expecting a thicker version of cork that you might see on professional cork boards or in the cork squares that you might buy at Michael’s or Joann’s – THIS is not one thing like it.
The cork sheet is very loosely composed and unquestionably needs to be backed up (ie: glued) to a thick piece of cardboard or other type of backing. It breaks off into pieces exceedingly easily. It chunks off like pieces of stale bread and crumbles into tiny pieces. When I opened the package containing the sheets, with regards to a cup full of cork dust was in the bottom of the box.

Looks good, breaks easily
