We were discussing this issue here lately.

Here is a very interesting thread on Mark Squires'
Bulletin Board treating exactly this subject:


f.y.i. - Michael Brajkovich is winemaker for Kumeu River wines in New
Zealand - who now bottle *all* their wines (white and red) under stelvin.

They had major cork problems for many years.

Michael was NZs first member of the Institute of Masters of Wine and the
Kumeu River Chardonnay has been placed on the Wine Spectator magazines Top
100 on five occasions (in 1996 the '94 vintage ranked #6!) so his is an
opinion to be respected.
