Boxes (tetrapacks) are the logical next step.
Almost half the shipping weight of a bottle of wine is currently in the packaging (the bottle) which is just daft.

I was against the screw tops at first, but I've had real bad luck with cork lately, three bottles spoiled (cork taint)
I wonder if they have lowered the "quality" requirements for wine bottling cork or something due to scarcity?
