This bottle confirms that the wine does age under screw cap and it ages even better than under cork more slowly and evenly. This is for sure better for whites, where too much oxygen can cause harsher damage than in the reds. So here is a vote for screw cap for all white wines in the world!;-)
Good advertisement for screw caps. In our last group tasting, the biggest advocate of corks brought a corked bottle! We all enjoyed the irony!
