If
you drink wine then I’m sure you’ve come across these plastic replacements to
natural wooden corks. They look like the real thing, come in a vast array of
day-glow colours, require a corkscrew to extract, and perhaps most importantly,
are free of “cork taint” (TCA). However, I have reservations about them. First
of all, they’re difficult to pull out, and if you don’t finish the wine, next
to impossible to put back in. That however is not my biggest concern. They are
made of an oil-based product and from what I know about wine, and particularly
alcohol, it leaches elements out of things it comes in contact with. So would
not the alcohol in wine leach chemicals out of these closures? Something to
think about!
