I recently came asross an article that had to do with one of my favorite subjects: wine. In it they were discussing types of stoppers used on wine bottles and which were the best to use for the environment. The three most widely used types of stoppers are natural cork, plastic stoppers or metal screw caps. Suprisingly enough the natural cork stoppers were the most environmentally friendly because harvesting cork actually keeps the relatively scarce trees alive.

Great info Josh!
people actually close an open bottle of wine after they open it...
They also are much better are flavor preservaiton (thats why the ystore wine on its side) Great article
popping the cork and inhaling the wonder fruity smells which the cork was suppose to capture during its time to age on the shelf is part of enjoying the wine...sniffing a plastic top or another type of sealing item would just not be the same.
