Cork Warning - list 'em here
Posted: Sun Jun 14, 2009 7:37 pm
Dow's Quinta de Bomfim Vintage 1996.
Fragile cork. Tried to remove it slowly, it simply breaks apart. And this is the second time with this bottle. A must for port tongs.
Maybe there should be a list here to let others know of corks that are a pain to open. I've pushed corks through, but haven't had many that crumbled worse than the Orlando Magic (timely). Not happy.
So, what corks have been a nuisance to you? What was the result? How did you remedy the situation?
