Led by viticulture and enology professor Andrew Waterhouse, the project will look at how certain characteristics of the corks slow the transmission of oxygen, which can directly affect the quality of the wine and how well it ages.
The project will examine already bottled wine of different ages, but also follow newly bottled wines for 100 years. Researchers launched the experiment last week, bottling 110 gallons of wine, or about 400 bottles.
