Stuff stuck to edge of bottle

[Thomas]

To make matters worse, if tartrates and sediment are involved the two will often bind--not uncommon in unfiltered wine. The same motivation not to filter sometimes leaves winemakers not to cold stabilize.

Glass-a-day, the tartrates do form on the cork, but only because the bottle is on its side. If the bottle stands upright, the tartrates can both fall to the bottom and gather along the walls of the bottle.
