Corked Wines.

I thought about this thread and went back over my records. Our rate, overall, is about 3-5%. However, this is heavily weighted towards the "beginning of our wine odyssey," and since shunning the shops where we were getting more than a couple of bad bottles, our percantage has been lower. In fact, we've probably only had 1 corked or cooked bottle in the last 100 we've opened. I really think the way it's handled before it arrives at your door is the key (assuming, of course, that you have proper storage).
