The screw top for wine bottles, one of the best inventions in recent decades.

Yes... easy to open, easy to close, needs no tool, preserves the wine. No drawbacks, unless you're into nostalgia.
I've started seeing screw-tops as an accessibility feature after the last time I got a bottle with a cork that was impossible for my mother to open and ended up crumbling anyway. I'm done with corks forever; they just don't make sense.
