I'd *love* to use Stelvin screwcaps for my commercial wines, but the winery
only handles corks at the moment. I'll continue to lobby hard for a
screwcap line, but I don't have $50K to pay for the mods. I'm also lobbying
for a centrifuge, but I don't have the $$ for that either. It isn't _my_
winery anyway; I just rent space there.
