(burp) Salute!!
Chinese wine?
Dang, is there anything they can't do?
Locustlike, I suggest we all assemble in the most northerly part of the continent, and work our way down. Together, we can...
'Drink Canada Dry'.
What's really funny is that some good wine is being bottled with screw caps.
I tasted some Red Pillar from Australia that came sans cork.
Not bad, and not expensive.
And this is a problem because????
A round of "Two-buck Chuck" for everyone!
I am seeing no problem whatsoever.

When profit margins are low, loss from corks becomes more important. Some vintners are looking at fifteen percent loss because of bad closures. Screwtops are the wave of the future, like them or not.
I have noticed that some decent wines, like Ravenswood Chardonnay, are hovering around the $6 mark. I wondered why but 'YAY' anyway.

Poor Clarence, by thy guile betrayd to death!
Hey... I'm DOIN' the best I can!

I must be looking at the wrong wines or am looking in the wrong places.
I guess global warming isn't ALL bad....
The most difficult thing in buying wine is finding good bargains. I would NOT start at Surdyks unless you go to their quarterly sales and know what you are looking for. If you would like any suggestions about good wines for reasonable prices, Freepmail me.

From a previous thread. "Jarhead Red" wine. Some of the cost goes to a Marine charity.
