  • doesn't that affect the way they change while in the bottle?

    Yes, that's why caps are taking over from cork. Caps are consistent, corks are OK most of the time but occasionally wreck your wine. Not a disaster with £2.99 plonk, but pretty annoying with anything nice.

  • So no vintners want their wine to change while in the bottle?

    They want the changes to come from what's in the bottle when it's closed, not what leaks in through a bad cork
