I'm serious! I've been selling and drinking wine and I have never seen this happen before. I opened the bottle for a customer at 1pm. Wine was fine. Then I uncorked it for another customer at 3pm and it looked as if there was smoke in the bottle and I watched it come from the bottle while the customer was trying it.

Any ideas as to what this could have been. Very, very strange.

Georgie!! I gave that up years ago! hehe!

It was a 2003 Bordeaux Blanc. Very, very interesting.

Quite common guru. The carbon dioxide in a young wine gets stirred up as you drive it around in your car, not to mention warmed up, and then it lets off vapor. Surpirsed you haven't seen it before; I've seen it many times.

Might have seen it before and just didn't realize it because of colored glass. This was clear glass.

Thanks for your help!
