Thanks for the info. Didn't know that. I'm not into wine at all (yet), so I go by what others tell me. I heard that wines need to be stored with a certain humidity on other cigar forums. At first it seemed like a weird notion since it doesn't seem like it would effect the wine at all, but then the whole cork thing kind of made sense. But it seems like if that was the problem they would have found a more practical solution ages ago, like rubber corks or something like that.
