洛基11--BF酒商题

Many winemakers use cork stoppers; but cork stoppers can leak, crumble, or becomemoldy, so that those winemakers must often discard a significant proportion of their inventory of bottled wine. Bottlemaster plastic stoppers, which cannot leak, crumble,or mold, have long been available to winemakers, at a price slightly higher than that of traditional cork stoppers. Cork prices, however, are expected to rise dramatically inthe near future. Clearly, therefore, winemakers who still use cork but wish to keep production costs from rising will be forced to reconsider plastic stoppers. And since the wine-buying public’s association of plastic stoppers with poor-quality wine is weakening,there is an excellent chance that the Bottlemaster plastic stopper will gain an increased share of the marked for wine-bottle stoppers.

这两句黑体字什么在文中起到什么作用？！ conclusion还是。。。？

第一句应该是提供一个context吧，第二句是imtermediate conclusion（因为最后一句才是main conclusion）...
只是我的个人意见哈...

楼主什么意思？
似乎很好理解啊
1。因为木塞会。。。。所以很大一部分酒都会被扔掉
2。因为木塞预期会涨价，所以在用木塞的winmaker，如果不想生产成本暴涨，应该会重新考虑塑料塞
