Subject: Re: Corks and closures |
| I experienced the glass cork only a few weeks when opening a Franconian wine which was excellent! It was Müller-Thurgau 2005 from Nordheimer Vögelein. I've had various Franken wines but this is particularly good and after expressing our thanks for this gift the kind person sent my wife a second bottle! Anyway I was surprised about the cork 'cause I'd not come across a glass one before and it was easy to remove and clicked back into the bottle when it was returned to the fridge. Yeah go for glass if it helps save a cork tree for the really big wines.
