Default Re: packing bottles of wine in your (checked) luggage

I still don't know why wine isn't bottled in plastic.

Wine drinkers are the same people who resisted for years any attempt to use screw caps rather than corks because they (1) looked down on it from an image standpoint (2) were convinced it would impact taste, despite studies to the contrary.

How do you think plastic bottling would go over, even assuming you can show no long term impact on taste (and the shelf life for wine has to be a lot higher than the 3 or 4 months for carbonated soft drinks)?
