Cork hasn't disappeared from those places, nor will it disappear from France in our lifetimes. I can guarantee that. It's not about snobbery. It's about tradition. And tradition dies very hard here. There are plenty of winemakers here who will never switch. And it will take a good bit longer than 5 years for them to die out.
