Corked wine is wine tainted by TCA, a compound that makes it taste and smell less than pleasant. Corked wine is a specific condition, more precisely it's wine tainted by TCA, a compound that reacts with wine and makes it taste and smell less than pleasant, ranging from a wet dog, to wet cardboard, to a beach bathroom.
How does corking a wine bottle work?
Filled bottles turn through a six-headed corker, which can complete/cork six bottles at one time. The corker emits a small amount of nitrogen into the head space before pulling a vacuum and then inserting the cork. This process ensures, again, that no oxygen gets into contact with the wine.
What does a corked wine taste like?
A 'corked' wine will smell and taste like musty cardboard, wet dog, or a moldy basement. It's very easy to identify! Some wines have just the faintest hint of TCA- which will essentially rob the wine of its aromas and make it taste flat.
