Tag: Bad wine

According to winemaking experts, all wine contains a small, undetectable amount of volatile acidity, but when wine tastes like vinegar, it means a specific bacteria has gone to work on the alcohol. This process is largely irreversible and indicates a major fault in the wine's composition.

According to some estimates, up to 2% of all wines bottled under real cork are affected by cork taint, a flaw that can ruin the bottle. Understanding what wine you should avoid goes beyond personal taste, encompassing potential faults, health issues, and poor production methods.
