who say they are purposely introduced? yes, it is inevitable as there is no way to remove oxygen unless you use vacuuming techniques. even in a vacuum, there is inherently oxygen in the grapes and water during aging process in barrels. it is this inevitability in the bottling process that gives us bottled wine, and together with the cork to seal it (with the little amount of oxygen) it becomes more drinkable than barreled wine. there is no doubt that bottle and cork helped make better wines for us today. without these two, wine would just taste like what monks had been drinking for centuries in monasteries....out of the barrel and tasted like cheap wine.
BTW whats the diff between wine and Martini? Is Martini considered a wine?
lest i forget, wine comes in alu cans too...
this moron first says oxygen cannot mix with wine, will turn it into vinegar. cunt even tell difference between oxygenation and oxidation. now turns around and says oxygen is inevitably mixed with wine when more facts are presented. so according to his logic all bottled wine should be vinegar since oxygen is inevitably introduced. now turns around again to say new bottling process eliminates oxygen. wine contains oxygen no matter how the cat is skinned. very soon, he'll say wine is devoid of oxygen. and begin to throw more bs into this debate when new facts are presented. just wait and see.
there is no scientific proof that corks add to the flavor of the wines although psychologically, asethetically, it does. The google link is an excerpt from Steven Spurrier's book - he is a renowned wine expert (not exactly same fame as robert parker) but close enough.

what is your problem with corks? don't tell me you're in the screw top business? i'll be falling off my chair and laughing my ass off if true.
If u seldom drink wine, than its hard for u to open. People who regularly drink it can uncork a wine bottle very easily. In mins. only.
What do you mean cork flake? I have never heard of that. Is that sperm that u spit out?
Agreed with this.
no...i have nothing to do with wine except to drink them.
i have no problems with cork unless they taint my wine.
i am just trying to right the perception that corks improve the taste of the wine besides psychologically / aesthetically doing so.
The little bits of the cork fallen in the wine.
Me too, I was at Napa last year, had lunch at the CIA. My fav would be Francis Ford Coppola's Opus. any year. Otherwise, Robert Mondavi proprieter's reserve (any year) is good too. Oak chips, fucking Aussie cheaters, no wonder they can sell their rotgut for so cheap.
it's not just the corking, it's the entire bottling process with the inevitability of bottle shock that turns wine better for modern consumption. in older times, they stuffed cloth into opening of jars to seal the wine. the oak cork and bottle changed everything about wine making, storage and appreciation. those two are two of the most important inventions for the wine industry. all good reserved wines today are bottled and corked with oak corks. sorry no synthetics, no plastics, no screw tops for me. only cheap wines come with screw tops. they serve them by half bottles with screw tops in the company luncheon cafeteria in italy. italians call them "cheaper than bottled water".
within 30 seconds.
any vintner that uses oak chips is actually shortcutting the process....you can call it cheating. but as usual, aussie wine is wannabe wine and doesn't even come close to the best from napa. no wonder they are selling for usd5 a bottle. most vintners "cheat" today by using oak chips, to make a profit and sell more wine at lower prices...which are essential for business survival these days. consumers in asia are clueless, and the market there is growing. ultimately it will catch up with them when consumers evolve and become more discerning and picky.

you need a corkscrew to use the screwing motion to draw the cork out while applying leverage at the bottle lip with the stiff side(s) of the corkscrew handle. sounds like fucking to me.
its the perception - corked wines are more "atas".
there are very good wines (new world) that r in Stelvin.
