I have. On the very rare occasion, the wined is corked. I get an exchange, not a refund.

I've always wondered how obvious corked wine is. Having I think never tasted it. Makes me paranoid I'd be wrong.

It is more obvious to some people than others. Many people just assume its bad wine but will drink it anyway.

Is it seriously vinegared taste or just weirdly pungent? I'm betting I'd drink it anyway cause I didn't know better.

I do love a good sipping balsamic.

No it is not vinegar like at all, the wine tastes pretty tasteless, but there is an unpleasant smell, does smell a bit like a cork might taste.

The odour is similar to well-used running shoes.
