Opening wine as beer...

I’ve just finished the last sip of a bottle of Pierre Fricks’ muscat. I think that my face looks still astonished when I’ve found a usual beer closing and no cork 8-o C’mon dude, store the corkscrew and look for beer-opener... Is it usual? Is it for short term consuming wines?Regards,Jose

Too much for a wine ’taliban’

... I am a strong cork defender... however I can accept in some specific situations other devices like screw caps... but this kind of openers... no!!! :-P

I think it’s ok for some kind of wines...

Like young wines or at least wines with no ageing intention. Anyway, I’m still thinking about how should be served a wine with this closing in a restaurant.

Regards,

Jose

Na-na-na... :pppp

But well, speaking seriously. How would be explained in sommelier schools this kind of caps?

Re: Na-na-na... :pppp

Well, as someone said in the Spanish side during second fermentation this kind of cap is used with cavas... I do not know the reason... but probably is not a bad option for short-life wines....

Cheers!
