Lower end? Not me :-) I've bought wine from Kees-Kieren with these
stoppers, namely their Graacher Domprobst Trocken Spätlese 2006 and 2007.
Same from Schloss Vollrads, and from Brauneberger Hof, to name a few.

But, I'll admit that these are wines for short term storage - most Mosel
Trocken should be drunk within 2-4 years even when they are from class
estates.

And quite a number use Stelvin nowadays. It seems to me that the ranking is
1. Natural cork for long term storage and expensiver wines
2. Glass stoppers for good wine and short term storage
3. Stelvin for cheaper wines but also up to quite good qualities and perhaps
for longer storage
4. Various plastic corks - everyday wine
5. Composite corks - cheap everyday wine
imho, of course.
