That said, you can also try some of the savignon blancs. The ones from South Africa are fairly crisp with a sweet aftertaste. My current favorite is Mount Nelson, and I can get it for about $15 a bottle in downtown Chicago. It comes in a screwtop, but cork is so godawfully expensive these days that the technology to preserve the wine (at least the young whites) is good enough that it doesn't matter. Serve it ice cold preferably on a hot day.

Actually a lot of winemakers are using screw tops now. It has become less of a stigma as it once was. It actually preserves a wine better than cork and it is cheaper. As well as being easier to open
