Here's another wrinkle: synthetic cork or natural? I'm always a little disappointed (for no articulable reason) when I cut off the foil to find a synthetic cork.
speaking of both wine & golf, I recently had a chat with chief sommelier of K Club Resort (Ryder Cup venue 2006) in Ireland. While showing me its cellar with the largest collection of Petrus in the country, she also happend to mention that 'screw' caps are the best by far and anyone who thinks other wise should put a 'cork' in it
