I can't believe you would say something like that with me right here.

I’m sorry, I apologise unreservedly
Many reasons for that the least of which is that you can't age wine without cork
So does that mean that wine in a bottle with a screw top doesn’t age? Or is the cork used somewhere before you bottle it?
Yeah. Once you put a screw top on, the wine is frozen in that state (it can go bad with excess heat, light or temp fluctuation)
How’s storing wine in miniature barrels? I want to roll a barrel of wine out of my local store. Maybe 3 gallons or 45 lbs is a good limit to the mini barrel
Honestly pretty ridiculous.
Barrels breathe which means you have to top it up monthly and make sure it's not getting too oxidized.
It's a cool party trick, but other than that unrealistic
Honest question though. What difference does it make? Isn’t the wine ‘finished’ when you package it?
Good wine is never "finished"
A frenchy would have a heart attack if you put wine in a bag. I've however slapped a few, so I get it.
Wine is super acidic so even with a coating on the bag, you're gonna get some of it dissolving into the wine. Also without minimal oxygen interplay from the cork over years the wine is static and doesn't age
