re: Do you really need to store wine on its side?

I get it. I’m pointing out refrigeration as one of millions of things that have changed in the last 100 years.

Maybe a better example would be screw tops.

There were lots of things 1000 years ago that made sense then but might not now.

Heck I’m not even saying I’m right. But I’m also not buying the “it’s always been done this way” argument.


In the end I don’t care because 1/3 of my wine will have screw tops, 1/3 will be manmade cork and 1/3 cork. And all of it will be consumed before it could dry out.
