RE: Hmmm, it's been a while since I did same

Cork is just one source of TCA. It can from a barrel or wood in a winery for example. In those cases no closure will help with the problem.
I want to use screwcaps for my whites next year....the companies that make them are kind of a pain to deal with...very long lead times. I think they are very in demand.

BTW, I bottled Syrahs today....I paid 50 cents a cork plus about 20 cents for the tin foil to go over top of the cork....70 cents!...per bottle...just for that. A lot of wineries are switching to screwcaps because they are CHEAP!!
