For serious wine cork is the only alternative.
Unless drinking really serious wine (such as Penfold >100 USD a bottle offerings), in which case screwcap is the only choice

Cork is a failed technology, with no benefit for aging wine and lots of potential for wrecking it. Took a century of research to understand how and why wine improves with age; now a screwcap closure is the superior alternative for those that care about wine quality. imho (well, not really so humble, I love wine too much).
