So is this like a crusade against the big bad wine companies, or a nice friendly warning to all of us here in internet land?

I find it hard to believe that wine companies would continue to peddle a rumour that corked wine is better, so as to sell more product. It would be cheaper to produce screw-cap wine, so would it not be in their interests to convince everyone that that kind is better?

I'm also curious as to why you think people on the board care!

This "board" is a joke. Most people here belong on some lame aol chat site, where you can spout off all the B.S. you want. I would have hoped for some intelligent input into the matter, but all I have gotten really is smart ass responses.
Corked wine is a dark aged concept. Nostalgia is about all it holds on to. Many major wine companies are switching to screw caps. However, many are still holding on to this passe idea. I am warning people of the danger that many corked bottles posses. Did you know that they often hammer the corks in by hand with a wood mallet? This causes bottle to sometimes hairline fracture, and many get past inspectors. I was simply hoping to put this out there and get some positive or at least intelligent responses. I just hope that karma doesn't bite some of you in the ass the next time your dealing with a bottled beverage! Peace.

there's nothing lame about this board, it's just that posting stupid stuff like that sends out a honing device for us cynics

Posting here benefited us....by trying to warn others, we were introduced to thespaindshane and learned of his injury, which is exactly what we wanted to do, Warn others and learn from others.

Obviously some of the people on this board don't believe in karma. We do! The reasons we originally posted on several boards was to warn people and hopefully learn about others that have had the same thing happen to them. Maybe it wouldn't have happened to RC or to "thespianshane" if they had been warned about the possibility of a defective bottle and a cork too stubborn to come out. A warning on the bottle would be nice. The cork myth has long been beaten to death on wine sites everywhere and it doesn't do a thing for the wine except possibly taint it and make it a little harder to get to.

FYI griffdaddy: some of us have lives, we like to live them with 2 functional hands and don't think that the purchase or opening of a bottle of wine should change that funtionality forever. AND the comment about women not wanting a man with a messed up hand....what would you know about what a woman wants? My one handed pecker is just as great as ever! Sounds like you don't know a thing about wine, women, professionals or "your own hole". Get a life cause you got no heart!

I don't think even karma excuses spamming something accross boards....

This the "After Hours" forum. Not the "Biology / Medicine" forum, nor the "Personal Issues" forum. If you want to be taken seriously dont post serious matters on the "take the piss" forum. Try posting to a relevant forum. in "After Hours" your karma goes up for being inane.

More like spam. We have a few newbie posters posting in tandam the same crap, which seems to reflect a similar tactic elsewhere on another forum.
