Default To cork or not to cork

Hi guys,

Well, our liquor license was approved and, after the final inspection the
end of the month, the Village Vintner should be ready to open for business.
Whoooo hoooo!

I've recently heard from a couple of hobbyists that they use screw-tops
rather than corks, saying that the cork has absolutely no effect on the
wine. This goes against everything I've believed, but then I've never looked
into it to confirm my assumptions. Is it like the Ford vs Chevy (or Apple vs
PC) debates? Does it really matter? We've decided to offer both options to
our customers, but I'd like to know which to recommend for whom, and why.

What do the experts say? By "experts," of course I mean you guys.

Tia,

Waterspider
