Damaged corks can occur with all products (spirits, wines, etc.). In the case of cork taint, the bottle must be returned to the address provided in the imprint. The complaint will be professionally reviewed, and if justified, a replacement bottle will be sent. A complaint cannot be recognized if more than 10 cl is already missing.Since a cork taste is quickly identifiable, every customer should briefly taste their wine and immediately note any defects.
