Everything that you say is true. But I really like the ceremony of using a corkscrew to open a bottle of wine; it is a lot more tactile than opening a screw cap.

That is why http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alternative_wine_closure was invented. Apparently, this isn't common in the US, but it is in Western Europe.

It's fairly common. You see it with some of the table wines and it's something the California wineries would love to bring to the higher-end stuff, but they're still in the process of "educating" the public as to its advantages. Waiting for it to become acceptable, basically.
