If we weren’t snobs, all wine would come in boxes. It’s simply a better method of storage. Once you open a bottle of wine, you cannot store it because there is enough air in the bottle to make the wine go bad, even with a cork on. Box wines protect the contents from the air.
Also, corks go bad and ruin the wine in the bottle. Screw tops are much more practical. But we sneer at them because we’re snobs.
