Cork trees take decades to grow, and as such the supply cannot keep up with demand. Self-assembling nano-corks, anyone?

For young wines not meant to be aged a screw cap it perfectly fine. But for wines that are meant for 20 years of aging? What other material provides exactly the correct level of pourous-ness (?) so that the wine can age (aka oxidize) ever so gently, yet not so rapidly that it turns to vinegar?

Well, maybe it's not a *very* good reason, but if you're looking for a better value it's an option.

They even stop the white wine from leaking in the fridge. I like glass cork stoppers found on a lot of Austrian wines. They even stop the white wine from leaking in the fridge.
