Thanks, god ! I'm relieved .... there still is some hope .... <img src="images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

I read about those plastic "corks" in a newspaper's article, about wines around the world... and I have to confess that I did find some bottles with those "corks" in FRANCE !!!
True, that was some cheap wine (maybe imported ... <img src="images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />).
The great "Châteaux" are not using that kind of stuff, neither do most french wine producers.
But I guess those producing bottom/middle of range wines, not designed to be kept for a long time, may be tempted to use those "corks", to save a good deal of Euros.
