McQ in my paper suggests that some 7% of anything she tastes is "tainted". This being independant of closure. My (limited) experience is virtually nil tainted these days. |

I agree with you, not McQ, on this occasion. Wine is so vastly improved, even in the last 5 years. |

That reminds me of a joke.. A new middle east crisis erupted last night as Dubai Television was refused permission to broadcast 'The Flintstones'. A spokesman for the channel said.... 'A claim was made that people in Dubai would not understand the humour, but we have heard that people in Abu Dhabi Do.' |

Dagnam it Musky, why can't that goose get off the fence and give an opinion for once?

For me, only two dodgy bottles this year that I recall. Certainly not 7% |

Tainted ? I havent read the article - so without working out what she means by tainted ? I had no bad corks this year from a few 10 year olds 1998 & 1999 Spain and France, 2002 & 2003 Claret corks were all good, 2002 & 2004 Cote d'Or were all good. 2 x 1998 Penfolds were good A tesco 2001 Chablis 1er was going a bit fino with age, I was served this as a guest, it would have been good in 2006, Cork was a bit wet, so wine creep as well. I'm racking my brains to find a tainted wine in memory - due to bottle or bottling faults. I had a couple of cheapo dodgy screw top wines, that I did not buy - The wine making itself was faulty, IMHO The Central Otago PN has a dodgy canderelle taint, that will fizzle out with time I hope. All-in-All a good year...... I am anal, and so are my wine buddies about my / our buying choices, and the shops from whuich we buy, and therefore blame myself - Unless I find a dodgy cork with tell-tale signs of osmosis. 7% taint - where does that come from ? Nuff said - Miss Macquerky |

Stumbled across this Report the other day - Corked - dependant on closure and the possibility of mould from the rafters ! There are some very illustrious names in here. The report is for a period 1st January 2005 to 31st December 2006. A few of the wines were nearly 20 years old. http://www.thewinedoctor.com/author/corkcount.shtml No quibble from the Wine Society - but waht happens if you take back a Supermarket wine costing up to £20, which is found to be corked 8-10 years later ? |
