WINE QUIZ

 

What Can a "Wine Expert" Tell From Sniffing the Cork?

Not much, other than he or she is a genuine, vintage wine snob and trying way too hard to impress you.

The only thing you can really do when you are presented the cork in a restaurant is to make sure it's not dry and disentegrating, which would probably mean the wine wasn't stored properly (on its side, slightly down) and might be spoiled.
