We've been following the slow move of wines from cork to screwtop for a while, now there is an official international organization to promote screwtop wine. Decanter reports that the International Screwcap Initiative is an extension of the already existing New Zealand Screwcap Initiative, a group of wine makers who got together in 2002. The International Screwcap Initiative hopes to promote screwcaps in Europe and to convince people that screwcaps aren't just for white wines but can also be used with reds.
