The Cork, or the Screw Cap; which is better?

Does it really make that much of a difference? A cork or a screw cap?
Well, screw caps have a bad reputation and are often associated with cheap wine. But honestly, that is not necessarily the case anymore. Wine snobs turn their nose up when you mention the word. So what.

I mean really; screw caps are easier to open and close, plus, they can't crumble if they get dry, nor can they infect the wine if they get contaminated. It's important to remember, though, to lay a wine in it's side here and there to keep the cork moist so it swells and creates a better seal with less chance of drying out and therefore crumbling into the wine when you try to take it out.

Although they do say that corks are good for the wine because they allow a bit of air in which helps the wine "evolve". I don't know. Sure it's fun to pull a cork out of a bottle, and yes it's basically a renewable resource, but I don't think screw caps are all that bad.

I say to each his own; if you believe a screw cap makes for an inferior wine choice, then so be it, but you may miss out on some excellent choices just because you are eschewing screw caps.
I like the idea of a screw cap just to reseal wine a little better. Either way, I am choosing a wine for the wine, not the way it closes.

And corks make for a cool collection.
