Only within about the last five years though john -----Original Message----- What we heard when we visited..... When NZ entered into the Winery Biz ( about 20? Years ago) they asked for corks. The cork sellers either would not sell them due to sold out condition on corks, or they wanted to sell them junk corks, or just did not want to play in NZ. So the NZ Wineries decided to go it all screw off caps.... and never looked back. BTW, NZ Sauvignon Blanc wines are purely heavenly for really fragrant, not syrupy, and not too sweet character.... You just need to find one that fits your taste profile.... Frank Filippone Red735i at earthlink.net In NZ we have mostly moved to the screw cap (claimed to be more hygienic) and only the more costly wines still have corks..... john
