Screw It

Zarqawi is dead; Rove is innocent; Alberto never became a hurricane....and all the Ann Arbor crowd can do is change the subject and come out *in favor* of cork. They're even selling T-shirts with their extremist conservative message.

Why not do it right and go back to the Roman method of stuffing the top with straw and pine-tar?

Let's get reality-based on this: wine is a straight-forward agricultural product which should be packaged using something inexpensive, trivial to use, non-threatening, and which preserves the contents best. For 99.99% of all wine made and consumed, that means screw-tops.

If screw-tops are good enough for my gin, vermouth, and scotch, it's good enough for my wine.

Meanwhile, check out the EncycloWine Wiki . Looks like we got a lot of wiki'ng to do. (And we'll get the job done faster if we aren't spending precious time helically uncorking wine!)
