Default Wine with your 100LL?

Primarily it has to do with the wine that is available in a box. Glass
also lasts longer; some fine wines are laid down for ten years or more.

There's a controversy about using cork or screwcaps now too; it looks
like screwcaps will win this one as cork is getting scarce and has its
problems.


They've done taste tests on TV with these wine snobs. For a given wine
it is not possible to tell what kind of container it has been stored in
by its taste.
