You’re quite right in that wine is becoming more accepted by the younger generation, as long as they leave enough for the rest of us it’ll be fine.
As regards screwcaps, they definitely have their place as more and more wineries are testing them out and finding they have many benefits over the older corks (wines become corked, estimates suggest that as many as 1 in 10 bottles suffer this, I personally think that figure a little high)and the newer plastic (these can allow the wine to oxidise in the bottle prior to opening). The screwcap has no drawbacks except the preconceived notions in the head of the wine snobs. I have many bottles with these caps at home just waiting for the glorious day I wring their necks.
