If you like a particular red wine.....it's a good wine...end of.

So much stupid snobbery with wine.

There's no difference between cork and screwtops and that's been chemically proven

You seriously can`t tell the difference between a cork and a metal screw top?For a start one unscrews and the other is pulled with cork screw. What has been chemically proven ?.

Indeed. My favourite red wine is chateuxneuf du pape at roughly £15 a bottle.
I am however, very partial to cotes de rohne from lidl at £3.69 a bottle

I would never buy a bottle of red from a supermarket for more than £9 although the only exception to this would be a good bottle of Rioja.

This. Though corked wine can get, er, corked, screw topped ones quite often lose their seal as a result of being bashed so it's six of one and half a dozen of the other. Decent french wines are now starting to use screw caps though.
