I agree that there are too many examples of people using screwcaps without either oxidation or reduction issues for me to believe in an inherent fault in the closure.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00489507739203968378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31735534.post-61117257533441407062012-11-15T01:20:31.808+01:002012-11-15T01:20:31.808+01:00I have been using screwcaps since 2002 vintage.

I suspect the problems such as this are to do with application, dissolved oxygen etc rather than anything to do with the closure.

I am drinking older red and white examples than yours from New Zealand and not encountering any problems. Quite the reverse.
