Default Warning: Empty corked wine bottle

I never thought such a thing would be possible but I just had an explosion
in my kitchen. There are glass shards everywhere! I had an empty bottle of
merlot from last week, sitting, corked, waiting to be taken out to the trash
and it EXPLODED. Apparently this thing built up gasses or something because
I'd put the cork back in the empty bottle. It looks like a terrorist just
visited my kitchen. Don't put corks back in empty wine bottles unless you
intend to take them out to be disposed of immediately.

This has been a public service announcement from someone who just cut her
hand on broken wine bottle glass and now has to vacuum the kitchen floor.
