Your nose will pick up scents of wet cardboard or newspaper, wet dog, or a musty, moldy basement. Cork taint comes from TCA, or the chemical compound trichloroanisole. About 5% of wine tends to be corked to varying degrees. Sometimes it\u2019s hard to detect and can be a subtle muting of the fruit flavors or freshness. Don\u2019t be concerned, because drinking corked wine is not harmful. It\u2019s just disappointing to miss out on a great wine\u2026which is why you should feel no hesitation in returning it if you suspect cork taint.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If your wine is corked, it is perfectly acceptable to take it back to the wine shop where you bought it (subject to local laws).
