ORIGINAL: Blue Shorts My wife and I had a bottle of Burrell School Cab Sauv last week. We brought it to a local Italian restaurant. When the waitress removed the foil, she just stared at the bottle. She had this really bewildered look on her face. I was surprised, too, but after the initial shock wore off, we removed the glass stopper. It seals using a small plastic seal at the top of the stopper. It was super easy to open and since the amount of plastic exposed to the wine is very small, I doubt that there would be any flavor issues. I think it's a great idea for daily-style wines, but I still prefer the cork for long-term aging and asthetic reasons. If nothing else, I love the glass stopper that many winemakers are using these days rather than cork, synthetic cork or twist-offs. Call me simple, but I think the fact that their sealing capabilities and their simple, easy to open functionality is pretty cool. It's the simple pleasures in life for me.
