Cork Wine Stoppers Cause Dank Aftertastes
December 16th, 2011
The next time you buy Merlot from a wine shop or order it at a restaurant, don’t send the bottle back if it comes in a screw top stopper. It’s a running misconception for many people to consider corks as the ideal stopper for bottlenecks, for the misguided reason that the device has been used for centuries. Well, you’re not living in the Medieval Age anymore, and it might help you to know that the hint of wet cardboard on the sampling isn’t part of the wine’s exquisite characteristics. Mold tends to grow onto wet porous surfaces, especially cork stoppers. Opt for screw tops and get more value for your glass.
