Oodles of noodles – and corks
Today’s summer wine factoid: Nomacorc, a purveyor of plastic wine closures that require a corkscrew to remove, was the brainchild of a Belgian businessman who made a fortune manufacturing extruded plastics, including pool noodles. So if you’ve been floating around in the pool this summer and sensed a connection, you’re right.
In related news, plastic closures were the closure that consumers disliked the most by a two-to-one margin over all other closures in our recent poll.

Disliked by consumers?
I’ve got to say that it isn’t surprising. But what I want to know is how does that compare with their use? Some consumers prefer screwcap, others cork. But what they use/choose/refuse is what I want to know!
