When a waiter opens a bottle of wine at your table and pours a splash of wine in your glass to taste, they are not asking if you like the taste of the wine, they are asking you to check if the wine is "corked". Has it turned to vinegar?. The fact that they do this with bottles of wine they have screw-caps is hilarious.

So the wine can't touch the cork if it's a screwcap? Does the screwcap magically prevent the bottle from falling over? lol

God most people are ignorant as fuck about wine. Must come form having lower class parents who were too stupid to know this.

It's to give you the opportunity to inspect the wine to see if it has turned foul, which can happen even under the best circumstances, to any wine, from any manufacturer, and to ensure what you mentioned above. You can literally get two bottles from the same case, same year, same vintage, and one might have just been fucked up for some reason, a neutrino hit the glass the wrong way or some shit.

You misunderstand. A cork bottle can be faulty in sealing the bottle of wine. It can fail and let air in, thus, allowing the wine to turn to vinegar. A screw top does not do this.

Either/or.. My point stands. The plebian idea that a waiter is giving you a taste of the wine to see if you like the flavor is simply embarrassing.

My brother in law comes from a wine making family and once opened one of their bottles that had corked apparently. Of course he didn't want to serve it, but I still asked him to let me taste, because how should you notice how a corked wine tastes if you never have the chance to do so. Of course I didn't notice a fucking difference, I'm not the biggest wine drinker either.

There’s other wine faults to check for that don’t have to do with the cork. Things like VA, whether there’s damage from sunlight exposure, etc.

How is the cork supposed to smell? They sometimes present the cork to me, but I don't know what I'm sniffing for so I just smile and say that it smells good every time.

[Anonymous No.16195998]

Most of the time it’ll smell fine. If it’s corked it’ll smell like a damp basement with moist boxes. It’s definitely off putting so you’ll notice.

One of the main reasons for a 'corked' wine turned out to be how natural cork stoppers were reacting after being sterilized, so shouldn't happen to caps or synthetic stoppers at all. Not that there aren't a lot of other things that can go wrong, but I believe that was the #1 reason.

You don't sniff the cork. You put it aside.

The cork is presented for inspection: If you bought an older vintage you could check the cork for degradation or leakage/staining.

Jesus, you can get a myriad of faults under screwcap. The waiter is asking you to check for faults.

Not just it being corked (TCA).

And you can also in the winery have wooden items/barrels that get infected with "corked" TCA which then can end up under screwcap giving you a corked wine with no cork, hardly ever happens but it does.

[Anonymous No.16197919]
