Some time ago that has been common to find wines with a silicon stopper cork instead of a lifetime. In some countries like Australia go further and can easily find many wines with screw cap. But what are the differences? Does this mean that the wine is of lesser quality if you screw cap or silicone?

The use of cork began to be questioned by the problems of TCA (Tricloranisol) some place in the wine corks. It's when a wine is said to "have cork" for its moisture and aroma to taste disturbance occurs.
That is why we are introducing the silicone plug easily solves this problem as well as not dry, not break, no rot, etc. and permitting, according to some experts, a more uniform aging of wine. Has been used mainly for young wines and rapid consumption although the pattern is to be extended and increasingly normalized. The screw caps have been reintroduced for the same reasons, since they meet the same manner, and increases its use is also growing for young wines.


However, there are still many supporters of natural cork wine as it provides a sense of higher quality and a more natural product, in addition to occur in a less polluting and being a safe to keep the lives of many cork. Today it is still used because they are demanded by more traditional consumer.
