What's up with the World Wildlife Fund actually making a public statement suggesting that winemakers should continue to use cork stoppers if only for the good of the planet?  I guess not only do screwcaps fight cork taint, they also cause economic depression, forest fires, and harm endangered species.
Decanter.com reports: The World Wildlife Fund has called on the wine industry to 'choose cork' in order to save the environment.  In a leaflet entitled 'Cork Screwed? Environmental and economic impacts of the cork stoppers market' the WWF argues for the preservation of the US$329m cork industry. More story here.
