Depends upon your definition of "high end."

Grange is not screwcap.

Very few European wines are. However some use false (plastic) cork, or reconstituted cork. I stay away from these too. If they don't have enough self-respect for their product, what does it tell you?

As to Argentina, better Malbec (I finally managed to convince my wife that yes, there is such a thing) invariably use cork too.
