Screw caps suffer from an unfair reputation, often associated with inexpensive wines. However, this is not a definitive marker of the wine’s quality.A lot of today’s winemakers choose screw caps as toppers for high-end, expensive wine because they are easier to handle in the manufacturing process and because screw caps reduce the possibility of cork taint.At the end of the day, both corks and screw caps have advantages and disadvantages.Natural corks are the traditional method of wine toppers, especially in Old World wine countries like France, Spain, and Italy. Screw tops have become the primary closure method for wine bottles in both Australia and New Zealand. In these markets, screw caps top both value-oriented wines and high-end bottles.
