I would say that if you're only getting a few corked bottles from that volume of openings that you are quite lucky! Even during my recent trip while we were having dinner at (Mumm) A la Maison Cordon Rouge our host turned down at very corked bottle of Cordon Rose', (& there were only four bottles being served). Just during this three week trip we encountered that bottle and two reds that were slightly corked. Often people attribute faintly corked wines as the wine being bad itself. I see this at tastings where I will get to a table and ask for a taste of a wine that has only maybe 1/4 the bottle left and it will be corked! This means that at least 8 other people tried this wine before me and didn't notice nor were they sure enough to mentioned it. Considering the many wines from all over the world at tastings, there does seem to be some countries with more corked bottles. Overall I figure about 2 badly corked bottles out of 100 and 4-6 with low, drinkable levels of cork is avarage for me.
