When a Good Wine Goes Bad

Every once in awhile a bottle of wine becomes "corked" or "cooked" or "turned". 

Here are a few clues:

• Funky is good if you like disco but if the wine smells like your old socks, toss it
  
• It's no good if it tastes more like salad dressing than grape juice
  
• If the wine smells like the cardboard box that you stashed your paperback novels in, back it goes.

Trust your nose.  You don't have to be a wine pro to know if wine smells like fresh fruit or a jar of old jam.

Pop the cork™!
