Apparently the plastic shit is actually better for the wine nowadays, but most of the wines I drink just have screw caps so it's not even an issue for me
Also repping prosecco because that shit is great in sparkling cocktails

DELECTABLE BUM WINE
--- Quote from: from web site ---Known as "liquid crack," for its reputation for wreaking more mental havoc than the cheapest tequila. Something in this syrupy hooch seems to have a synapse-blasting effect not unlike low-grade cocaine. The label insists that the ingredients are merely "citrus wine & grape wine with artificial flavor & artificial color," but anyone who has tried it knows better. Tales of Cisco-induced semi-psychotic fits are common. Often, people on a Cisco binge end up curled into a fetal ball, shuddering and muttering paranoid rants. Nudity and violence may well be involved too. Everyone who drinks this feels great at first, and claims, "It's not bad at all, I like it." But, you really do not want to mess around with this one, because they all sing a different tune a few minutes later. And by tune, I mean the psychotic ramblings of a raging naked bum.

From what I remember the rubber corks are better because 1) if the cork breaks and you get some in the wine it won't fuck with the taste and 2) the amount of money and time and effort and resources that go into growing the trees used for wine corks is so ludicrous that it is way cheaper and generally better to just use the rubber corks. Also screw-tops generally last longer because you can effectively close the bottle after opening it. However they are not as classy as corks.

Nah, you need a wine-vac or wine-saver or whatever they're called because they take all the air out of the bottle so it doesn't ruin the wine.
Bastardous Bassist:
The problem with that is that the air has already started chemical reactions that will continue even after you deprive the wine of the air that started the reaction. It might last a little longer with those vacuum things, but not significantly.
