Nope, its true. The only problem is that stupid wine snobs demand corks and get it when its expensive wine.

I think so as well
We bought a kit with a couple rubber stopper type things, which work
just fine.
If we want to bother, we can also pump the air out of the bottle to
protect the wine if we want to save it that long.
It usually isn't necessary <g>

I am aware that a given volume of boiling water will freeze faster
than the same volume of cold water. This is due to the density
difference being great enough that there is substantially less mass of
hot water in that volume, and it will cool down more quickly.
However, hot water pipes? If the water shrinks as it cools, more
water is pulled into the pipes from the rest of the system (assuming
the pipes don't have air bubbles in them). So the mass in a given
length of pipe would increase as the water cools.
Are you confused, or am I missing something?
