You know, I like wine. I've drunk plenty of wine in my time. I've read folks write things like '1 bottle out of 12 [is cork-tainted].' And yet I've never, ever had a taint bottle of wine. Is it just that I'm drinking younger wines?
FWIW, I love real corks and I hate how wine and liquor bottles have been replacing them with lifeless plastic.
- danieltillett 11y agoNot everyone is affected to the same degree by cork taint - you might be one of those lucky people that are not sensitive to it. If you have never had a bottle of tainted wine then this is quite likely. You can really notice cork taint when you are drinking the same wine/ vintage regularly. You will open a bottle and it just tastes "flat" compared to what you are expecting. Open another bottle of the same wine and it tastes fine. This is cork taint.
