In the interests of cultural history being documented, it must be asked if you applied the "Red Neck Test for Good Wine" and counted the threads on the cap.

I'm told that three turns or more is a sure indication of "superior wine." (One shouldn't ask "superior to WHAT.")

I doubt, however, that the cork will disappear until the last of the yuppies is gone, as it permits a higher price (usually) based on "elitism" or some such thing that can be advertised profitably.
