Anyone else experience a glass cork?
By the way, the seemed to be in excellent condition.

Yes, there's another product called Vino-Lok that I've encountered on some German wines.

Today, my estimated guess is that some 50% of all white in Austria comes under screw-cap (the share is still growing), so Vino-Lok will remain a minority program.
