AllstarSniper32 posted... I bet the reason is that it's the best way to let wine store and age. Indeed it is. Corks don't let that much oxygen into the bottle so it gives wine chance to breath but that all that much. That varies by wine. The whole "wine gets better with age" thing isn't actually true (at least not as a blanket statement). Wine changes with age, as stuff oxidizes, but whether that entails getting better or worse changes on a wine-to-wine basis, and on just how long it's aged. The bottle's closure will affect that oxidation process, and I would imagine some wines benefit more from having a little bit of airflow through a cork, while others benefit more from being kept airtight by a screw cap. It's also possible this one went with a cork just to pretend to be fancier, because that also happens. Sometimes, vinting is really complicated and there are a billion different factors to consider, other times, you can just take it completely at face value. --- This is my signature.
