Bonjour
Savez-vous si ce mot peut avoir le sens de "vin de mauvaise qualité" et dans c cas, comment le rendrait-on en français. Trouvé dans la phrase que voici : "I bought a nice wine instead of a screwtop".
D'avance merci !

agree  Didier Fourcot: Le sens a vieilli, de bons vins peuvent avoir maintenant un bouchon à vis mais les préjugés sont tenaces: http://www.npr.org/sections/thesalt/2014/01/02/259128689/cor...
