Comments on: Cork – ‘taint good enough http://www.thewineblog.net/2005-05-cork-taint-good-enough/ An international group blog about wine, with Martin Field, Mike Tommasi and friends Tue, 07 Feb 2012 16:30:13 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Mike Tommasi http://www.thewineblog.net/2005-05-cork-taint-good-enough/comment-page-1/#comment-9 Mike Tommasi Sat, 07 May 2005 12:26:21 +0000 http://cmarc.net/WordPress/2005_05_01_cork-taint-good-enough/#comment-9 Martin, here in Europe the inpression isthat more and more botles are tainted, and yet the winemakers are very shy to move to capsules or screw-top. This is indeed scandalous, especially because even here in southern France a bottle of wine cosgts more than an egg... ;-) Unfortunately, most people cannot recognize cork taint, and so the problem is seen as "us wine geeks being picky". I will shed no tears at the end of this great cork fraud, and I dont believe a word about cork forests preserving the lynx. Sound like brilliant PR from the industry...
