Screw cap wine bottles threaten rare species
The trend for buying wine sealed with screw caps is threatening to kill off one of Europe's most important habitats.

Wow Matt... thanks for posting this. I HATE screw caps. Not only does do they "dumb down" wine, but they give it a funny, metallic taste. Rosenblum went back to cork after having screw caps for a while. Something about the wine not aging well in the bottle.
Just because something is cheaper it is not better...

Wow, now I can say I'm doing my part to preserve something (aside from my liver)by drinking wine!
