Screw Cap Closures

Posted by Haoleguy on January 29, 2005 at 04:45:59:
These are definitely catching on for white wines. Calera Winery in Hollister, CA was bottling half of their viognier with screw cap closures to test their loyal customer reaction. I'm fine with the screw cap wines that are to be drunk young but for wines to be aged I prefer high quality cork. To me viognier is on the border between drink young and age for a couple of years. I really dislike the synthetic and compressed wood corks in any wine.
