Subject: Re: Corks and closures |
Hello gary, hello other Member of the forum, the glass closure is a good step in the right direction. The only thing that matters me, is that it is unknown how the wines develop with this closure. As far as I know this closures are on the market for almost three years now, so there can not be longtime research done yet. Do you have personal experiences with such wines? Kindest regards Klaus >Hey Guys and Gals, > I live in a Weingut (Hulbert) in Eltville. Mr. Hulbert has >started >bottling his premium wines in new bottles with re-usable glass >"corks".
