Ep. 7 - Cork Really Does Grow on Trees

Cork trees are an important part of the vintner business, certain countries' economies, and the ecosystem. They range in quality and availability, and are a fair measure of the wine inside the bottle. (That said, a bottle of wine that needs no aging may utilize a less high-end cork, and there’s nothing wrong with that…generally)

Long story short: it's a sustainable classic, so, given the option, go for the bottle with the cork!
