JanH - the Lambrini girl

[JanH]

Generic, and Italian, and white, would all have put me off, iota!

Screwtops are brill though.

[JanH]

Last one was Barramundi Cabernet Merlot, actually, br

Screwtops are generally accepted as a Good Thing these days,even by top wine chaps and chapesses.
A shame really.
Nothing so beautiful as the sound of a cork being eased out...

Went to a talk at the Vintners Society not so long ago, and they take their wine "frightfully" seriously, and they have no issue with screw tops at all. So unless it was nasty cheap stuff, you are in good company!
PMSL at JanH!

if corks disappear what is dh going to do with his very expensive screwpull corkscrew?

[fairyfly]

I just had to check this thread out of curiosity to see if Janh had posted. Screw tops always remind me of her for some reason.

Don't!!

We have just bought cases of Pinot Grigio for the restaurant and DH discovered they are screw top!

Gutted.

Dont know how it will be received by the customers...will let you know.
