Default Something floating in Chenin Blanc

Hi.

I have a Chenin Blanc that has something floating in it. A solid substance
of some kind. What could it be? Could it be drank?

Thanks

Maybe a bit of cork? Not uncommon in my experience.
Drinking cork can be a good thing if you're a swimmer ...
more buoyancy.

Of course :-)

It is such a substantial amount of substance that I have a hard time
believing it is cork, but of course that is the natural assumption I made as
well. It is so much though.

Default Something floating in Chenin Blanc - another thought

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.

I have not opened the bottle yet. I guess I should, just to see what the
substance is. :-)

Can you describe it, is it like a cloud? a solid piece of woood like
material? If you can see it tell us what it looks like and we can all have
a much better discussion.
