Another question to ask at the Pearly Gates
DH and I were having coffee this afternoon talking about stupid things. We
couldn't figure out why they put those stickers on your returns at the doors at Costco and Walmart; what it accomplishes for them. Does anyone know? The reason I ask is tomorrow is a big return day: An outdoor "critter" camera that takes pictures at night. A Shark sweeper. A corked bottle of wine. Hey, I'm just bringing them in the door. They've already got my money -- what's the deal? Dee Dee |

If you elect to take the product out again, it also shows that it was brought it from the outside, not off the shelf. Some security setups are to make people aware that the store is watching, a deterrent in itself. Why are you returning wine? |

On recommendation, (some from the wine group I believe), I bought some Virginia wines. So far two have been corked. I will always 'try' to get money back on corked wines, if they are white. (White, meaning I have purchased them somewhat recently.) Money is only partially the reason for getting money back. Damn, it's the principle (and principal ;-) ) of the 'thing.' Dee Dee |

It wasn't stored correctly during the shipping > process and tastes off. If still corked how does one know it tastes "bad/off"??? And why would it matter how stored during shipping, all wine is positioned incorrectly during shipping (therefore by your logic all wine is bad/off), but I'd not call the few days needed to ship anywhere on the planet storage. Most liquor stores don't position wine properly for storage yet it could be on the shelf for months... could be in stock cartons for many months, even years. Unless obviously leaking the only way to know a bottle is spoiled is to uncork it... recorked is not corked. Sheldon |

Corked wine [Was: Another question to ask at the Pearly Gates]

[snip] > > "corked " doesn't mean "haven't opened the bottle yet. "Corked wine" is > wine that tastes bad because it was contaminated by a bad cork . > >http://www.thewinedoctor.com/author/corked.shtml I'm pleased to say there are now enough good wines around with Stelvin seals here in Oz that I now refuse to buy any with corks. I've never understood why it's taken so long for a decent seal to be accepted by the hoi polloi. What other product would get away with selling stuff where anything up to 10% of items is bad? (I should add that, based on my experience here in Oz, I think 10% is actually an exaggeration; but that's a figure attributed to "industry sources" in the URL quoted above by Janet, so WAITA! :-) Cheers, Phred. -- LID |

Corked wine [Was: Another question to ask at the Pearly Gates]
I used to work in a wine and cheese shop. We had a customer who was
exceptionally good at detecting corked wines. He'd buy a bottle, get it home, open and taste, realize it was corked, return it for refund. The owner changed the policy. Instead of giving him cash or credit that could be used on any other bottle, he started giving the guy another of the same. The customer's extraordinary powers of corked detection ended. Letting customers know that screw caps are actually better at preserving wine than corks was another comedy. Part of me understands it. I love the drama that accompanies serving wine, the presentation, the variety of corkscrews, the way the cork is presented to the host. Even now, screw caps are associated with low quality wine, almost as far down as box wines. It is hard to go against centuries of ceremony. --Lia |

Corked = Affected by TCA......... trichloroanisole, a bacteria that lives in the bark of a certain tree that supplies all the corks for the world..... but at the same time only infects about 2-7% of all wines. I've been drinking wine since 1993, and have only had approx 6-8 bottles that have been corked. What was the bottle DD? |

Do have a clean joke in that respect: Elderly Jewish man dies and goes to Heaven. St Peter is there to greet him and says 'Please be seated at the eternal banquet table and enjoy yourself'. The man says 'Is the food kosher here? I've never eaten anything unkosher in my life.' The Gatekeeper smiles and replies 'You don't need to worry about that in Heaven. Those rules no longer apply up here.' The old man still looks uncertain: 'Are you sure?' St Peter nods. The man considers for a few moments. 'Hmmmm...I'll have the fish, thank you!' |
