The last mass-market, screw-cap bottle (read: good QPR) I’d recommend from Oregon is from Underwood, which also makes wine which comes in cans, if you’re into that. I was surprised at how approachable and food-friendly this $8=$10 wine tasted. Good stuff!

Lots of bottles have screwcaps these days.

Another discussion question is “does anyone really care about corks vs. screwcaps, in terms of wine bottle closure?” There’s a nice article here on Wine Folly, if you want to consider the pros and cons, but really, I think as long as the wine’s freshness is properly preserved, then whatever works best should be used.

Sure, for a nice $30+ bottle you want to age, the ability for a natural cork to “breathe” is nice, but even then, you still have about a 1/20 chance of getting a bad cork. 

Plus, as the article explains, lots of cheaper wines use sub-par natural-synthetic alternative corks to cut costs, so you’re not getting the real thing anyway. I think the future of table wines includes many ways to store wine (e.g. cans and bottles) and seal wine (e.g. screwcaps).

Two brothers who inherited winemaking skills through generations. Their grandfather moved from the small settlement of Kisnána which is part of the Mátra wine region in Hungary to Strekov in Slovakia during exchange of populations in 1948. Their parents, both winemakers, sent the brothers to study winemaking and gain experiences in the new world. They gathered knowledge in California and New Zealand and now harvest its fruits to produce fresh wines with young spirit in leading south Slovakian region of Strekov.

Bertas started to build up their brand in 2007 from humble 1 000 bottles. Encouraged by the success they extended their production in 2013 and by today they produce over 35 000 bottles a year. By that time they realised the potential of local varieties as Welsch riesling, Moravian muscat or Saint Laurent, but also Sauvignon and Alibernet are in their portfolio. As every row of the wineyard is specific, they often create selections of the best plots of their wineyards, so call “Winemakers choice”.

In Slovakia they are also frontrunners of the cork-free zone. Inspired by George Fistonich, New Zealand´s leading winemaker, they introduced screw caps instead of wine corks. That is a wise choice because in that way their wines keep their most characteristic feature - freshness and fruitiness.
