Corked Wines.

I'm with you 102%, ww. Coincidence is not an option on this one. Maybe the textbooks have yet to be written but..... even in my own meager experience, it is all too obvious that the common denominator between high and low ratios of corked wines in my cellars is the previous life of the bottle. Not sure what differences there were but I know that some of my wine dealers sell me 100 to 1 corked bottles compared to any other dealers. I don't buy from them anymore. In most cases the wines were late releases like 95 Bordeaux as an example. I could get the same wines in say 2003 from different places. Wines from some dealers were NEVER corked. From others, a noticable percent. It was usually wines that had more than 5 years under its belt. That's proof enough for me.
