The renaissance of the natural cork

 The renaissance of the natural cork

In 2004 Robert Parker predicted that the screw cap would become more popular than the natural cork as a wine bottle closure by 2015. He was wrong. The natural cork is still the dominant closure and today quite a few wine producers are returning to natural cork. In contrary to Parker’s predictions in 2004 the cork producers have invested heavily to control the issues leading to “cork taint”.
