To the snob who doesn’t understand wine: you have no taste. Screw-top wine is no worse nor better than corked wine. Screw-tops in fact are better for the endangered cork trees, but you don’t care about that cause you’re a tasteless snob. Also, a lot of table wines (e.g. Jackson Triggs) come in boxes as well as bottles and there is no difference in taste. As for your blatant disregard for local producers; go fuck yourself! A number of local producers have created award-winning wines, that have garnered national accolades. And just an FYI, there are plenty of liquor stores that carry really good wines. You just have no taste or any kind of understanding of wine or wine culture to figure that out. —Someone Who Actually Drinks Wine

Ummmm, I have a name: Jesus Sonovabitch. Not only do I drink wine but I turn water into wine! Then it’s corked. Because screw top wine equates to rubbing alcohol and grape juice. Did you not read my comments on my wine Bitch? Enjoy your slum wine!
Can’t wait for my wine date with MM!
THE UPSTARTS
“Screw-tops in wine is no worse nor better than corked wine.” Someone Who Actually Drinks Wine
But that was never the issue, The issue, if you recall, was that screw-topped wines are not in the same category as those with cork tops. In effect, your assertion simply proclaims that you are not familiar with the latter and gives the lie to your charge that those who are “have no taste or any kind of understanding of wine or wine culture.” Have you tasted any great first growth Bordeaux with a screw-top lately? It is rather you sir, who have no taste or any kind of understanding or wine or wine culture.
Yes Jesus, we must get together for a tasting soon to show these upstarts.
Oooooohhhh, This is getting good. *makes some jiffy-pop and phones bookie “put 500 Quaatlus on My Lord and Saviour”*
Corks worked really well when wines used to be kept on their sides. Corks would stay wet and swollen. This provided a great seal. Now that wine in boutiques and liquor stores usually remain standing the cork is not wet and swollen and can be a detriment.
That is why a lot of wine makers (even some good ones) are beginning to switch to screw tops.
Dear Wine Snob…
found a vintage that’s right up your alley

thanks Mr zZz! A friend of mine swears by this label. Unfortunately, it is screw-topped.
BTW, I’m a fairly fit guy.. not middle-aged housewife weight…
Wine snobs are such pretentious honks. Cork, screw top, spigot, it’s all an excuse to waste words on a subjective taste and get hammered.
‘Swears by the label’?
‘By Jesus, that went down ma neck right some good!’
The usual plebeian retorts. Pay them no attention, Jesus.

Willard, for God’s sake, stick to something you know. Wait a minute, there IS nothing you know. Just leave by the back door.
Cheerio!
Cardbordeaux and Welches are not wines and maybe if you could detect the difference between at $12.99 bottle and a $54.99 bottle of wine (which comes with a cork)you might actually appreciate what real wine taste like.
For the record, Jackson Triggs is paint thinner, not wine.
“ULLAGE”
A point about the cork-screw cap debate is the matter of “ullage”. It refers to the small loss of wine in corked bottles that have been laid down for years. Unlike screw caps the wine cork “breathes” resulting in the loss of some of the wine, usually to a point just below the bottle’s neck. That is because the wine cork is organic but the sealed screw cap is not. Expensive cellared wines often experience “ullage” but cheaper wines using screw caps do not. They were not meant to be laid down but to be drunk shortly after bottling.
A pleasure as always,
Cheerio!
To the pedantic twat,
I suppose that’s better than not knowing anything and still writing walls of fucking text showing exactly that.
douche
Very hurtful Willard, very hurtful.
