Subject: Corks and closures |
Dear Roberta, dear members of the forum and when they send back the used corks to the wineries, what did they do with them? Do they recycle them on their own? The thing is in my opinion, that processed corks (like e.g. pressed corks) are even worse than normal corks. It is just matter of technical development and responsibility of the winemakers. If they are not willing to save they product as much as they can and along with this, try to make sure, that the customers get a good bottle, they do not act professional. The screwcap is proofed by various test in Davis, Geisenheim etc. so why do not use it. Or do you drive without seatbelt and airback just because of the good old days?
