David, I've had a couple of corked bottles recently, but I still love corks. I figured the screwcappers would have won out by now, but I still don't see that many fine bottles with non-corks (maybe that's just because I drink mostly Bordeaux; maybe most other types of wines have switched - but I don't even see them that much on Cal Chards, which I also drink, and which are corked a lot more often than Bordeaux, at least in my experience). What's holding up the inevitable?

A brief addendum following a radio interview I listened to this morning with the author of a book entitled: You Are What You Drive. Not exactly novel, but he made an interesting suggestion about people who would choose a – either a Range Rover or Land Rover, whichever of the two has the reputation of breaking down more often than any other vehicle, save maybe the Jeep. He said these people identify with the potential breakdown as a form of an adventure, mixed with the safari gestalt. In contrast yawningly normal people drive Hondas, he said. He suggested if a Honda owner wakes up one morning thinking about something other than his boss, his kids, and how he is going to get through the day, he should drive the car into a field somewhere, beat the s--- out of it, and bring it back all dirty so that people can see he is an adventurer, if only for a moment. I was thinking that a book, You Are What You Drink, might capture some audience.
