How to Open a Screwcap Wine, with Finesse!

We love screwcaps!  They are the perfect closure for wines, epsecially wines that are meant to be drunk within a year or so of bottling.  Since there is no cork,  screwcap wines can be stored upright, with no fear of oxygen invading the bottle. 

 Screwcaps also give you the opportunity of a simple reclosure when you haven't finished a bottle of wine.

We've got a video that shows three ways to open a screwcap wine - pay attention to the third option.  It's the best, although with practice it can be done with a lot more finesse than in the video.  We're still working on it!
