Storing wine on it's side was purely to stop the cork drying out and letting air in. Most decent wines use a screwcap now so it isn't that important which way the bottle is stored.

I still store mine on the side. If it leaks the wine will be "corked" anyway, and it avoids finding out when you already have a mouthful of it :D

This very much depends. I buy a range of wines from most prices & would agree that cork doesn't necessarily mean quality, but I wouldn't say "most" decent wines use screw caps - it seems almost random by brand to me. I know some that I like to buy come with corks & I wouldn't chose to store them upright.

Then again it's not really a problem for me as I don't have anywhere near enough space in my house to use a double bass (or is that chello sized?) to store wine!
