Flying capsules
2 Apr 2004 by JR
Keith Marton, US: Recently I've heard it claimed by some people that one can make an estimate of the quality of a wine by noting whether the capsule on the bottle spins freely - presumably because a "frozen" capsule implies that wine has leaked from the cork. This is a new concept to me. Is there any validity to this claim?...
