Hi again Kimi,
I have had a couple of experiences that I can only attribute
to a dry cork. I opened the bottle, poured a glass and there was
a cork "powder" floating on top. Might be a situation where, when the
corkscrew penetrates the entire length of a dry cork, some fine bits
of cork fall into the bottle. Didn't want to throw the bottle away
so I ran the wine through a coffee filter. If the substance floats,
you would think it almost has to be cork, but I don't know for sure.
Just a thought.
