Cork Sniffers Anonymous information
Twelve Steps to free you from Cork Sniffing!
- Admit that you have no idea of we’re talking about when it comes to wine.
- Believe that someone who knows more about wine can help you restore your sanity.
- Make a decision to turn your life (well at least the “oeno” part) over to that person.
- Admit to everyone that sniffing bark instead of wine was a dumb idea from the get go (Even sounds wrong retrospectively).
- Promise to change all of your evil ways and leave the bark behind.
- Realize how silly it sounds when the cork industry claims that if we stop using cork, the Iberian Lynx will disappear.
- Start sniffing pretty things again… like wine.
- Remember all of the people who thought you were a pompous twit with your cork sniffing ceremony… now cower in shame.
- Start reaching for the glass and ignoring the cork when the sommelier brings out the wine.
- Spend more time with your wine and try to develop a more profound understanding of its nuances.
- Walk around the restaurant every night and share your discovery with as many oenophiles as you can before the hors d’oevres show up.
- In case of relapse, go back to step #1 and start over again.
The Stelvin© Screwcap
After several centuries of practical use, cork as a reliable closure for wines has gone the way of the Betamax. While it was an awesome, renewable, and somewhat mysterious piece of natural engineering, cork just had too many weaknesses that ranged from its variability for oxygen passage, to more sinister issues like its ungodly smell when infected with 2,4,6-trichloroanisole.
Meanwhile, the Stelvin screwcap has advanced appreciably in the past thirty years and longitudinal studies dating back to the early seventies have shown that all wines age more gracefully when finished with a Stelvin screwcap. This closure ensures a fresh taint-free glass of wine, preserves the aromatic potential of the wine and adds a new level of convenience to wine appreciation. That last feature comes in real handy when you’re enjoying a rack of the lamb.
