Good point, Dimitri. But if the bottle was sitting near a window, and
the cat knocked it over on its way out of said window... it's possible
that it missed the "blast" ... Just find it very strange - we have had
many empty wine bottles "sitting around" in our kitchen in our lifetime
and none have exploded.... This is very strange indeed. Anyway, we will
have to ask Jill.

Cheers
