A screw on top would be a step up for my box wine loving sister.

My go-to bourbon has a screw top. I actually do like the cork or whatever for some reason, but it's not worth spending $8 on a bottle for it.

Weller is a screw top and some of the best bourbon ever made.

Screw top wine is way better because if I'm buzzed, I can't break off half the cork trying to pull it out or put it back in.

I'm With Joce. I don't mind it for myself, but as gifts or having people over, I try to have corked wine. Otherwise it feels tacky.

I believe I've heard or read that screw caps are better for wine quality, but the elite wine community is only slowly accepting the possibility.
Was/is there a cork "shortage" that economically caused more screw caps to be employed?

I'm going to install a hipster thermostat that will require minor spackling and drilling holes in the wall. It's easily the most ambitious and manly home improvement project of my life.

I'm thinking of transitioning to the protect. You have any particular thoughts/opinions on it?
