corked wines

[Jerry D Mead]

FOodie...Hate to tell stories on myself, but I actually rejected a wine at the Indiana State Fair one year as "corky," that turned out to be screw-capped (it may have been a barrel-sample, I don't remember now)...every one had a good laugh at my expense.

But the fact is the wine definitely smelled of 2-4-6 Trichlorianisole. I think it can come from cooperage as well, although certainly much more rarely.
