Turn of the screw a fine way to stop a wine

The screwcap has permeated Australian wine culture since the first concerted effort was made at widespread adoption back in 2001. And with good reason. It’s 15 minutes into the first episode of the wine show spoof Plonk (series one screening on Stan with series 2 to debut soon) before the subject of wine closures is discussed. Plonk’s trio of viniculturally challenged protagonists have ventured to the Hunter to interview Bruce Tyrrell, only to discover that Stuart McGill has got there ahead of them.
