Sometime back, a self-proclaimed wine connoisseur informed me that no self-respecting person would purchase wine that comes in a bottle with a twist top rather than a cork.
It’s just bad policy.
If there is any validity to this, I now have a
peculiar problem. My go-to red wine for the last fifteen years has arrived in a
bottle with a cork. But when I picked up a half dozen bottles to replenish my
stock a couple of days ago, two of them had twist tops.
I lay no claim to being any sort of wine
whatchamacallit, and I don't wish to trespass upon anyone's wine sensibilities,
but I fully intend to twist the tops off the bottles and drink the wine.
I suppose I’ll need to describe it differently now,
too: My wine has an earthy start with a trailer-park, twist-top finish.
I have posted a photograph comparing two bottles of
the same wine.
