Only the wines from Mr. Hulbert's Weingut. I usually buy 4 or 5 cases (6
bottles each) at a time and they are consumed within 2 or 3 months. The
wine is only a year old (started using the glass corks only last year) but
the wine is always the best. I'm afraid I'm not much help but I appreciate
your response.

Hello gary, hello other Member of the forum,

the glass closure is a good step in the right direction. The only thing that
matters me, is that it is unknown how the wines develop with this closure.
As far as I know this closures are on the market for almost three years now,
so there can not be longtime research done yet. Do you have personal
experiences with such wines?

Kindest regards

Klaus
