Absolutely not!

While it creates a nice reusable seal and can keep a wine from aging (good in some scenarios), the seal on the cap leaches into the wine.

Its the same reason that they found microplastics in liquids stored in glass and wine is more acidic and thus more corrosive than what they tested.

I always buy cork

with the capsule its hard to tell if its natural cork until you open it. Capsule looks great, but thats rough for quality verification

Does composite cork vs real cork matter?

do you want glue contacting your wine?

Most composite corks are plastic.

I think retailers are the ones that really want it. I have a cousin working in the business and he said it's the best at preventing refermenting while it sits in their stockroom.

I'm surprised they have enough of an issue with that to think about it like that.

Customers like it too. Its nice to have the reseal ability.

Its cheaper than cork and the wine ages differently in it.

Personally, I stay away and/or dont hold onto wine that is closed this way

Cork is a dying art. Think about how many synthetic corks are out there. It’s the same as using tannin powder instead of oak. Fiat always promotes short term gains at our detriment. But hey I can still get my Bogle old vine Zinfandel at Costco for $6.99.
