Bought a couple of bottles of Cité de Carcassonne from Aldi on Tuesday, based on previous experience; however, the first was corked and tasted of vinegar and I'm thinking of taking the 2nd one back before testing it.
Now I wasn't aware that a screwtop wine was susceptible to corking but, apparently it is. The mould that causes it can infect the cellar where the wine is before it's bottled and a whole batch can be corked, but you'd expect quality control to pick that up. Not in this case - the Carcassone had carked.
Citizen Kane was on TV yesterday - I switched it on just where the following conversation took place:
Emily Kane: "....But the people will believe..."
Charles Foster Kane: "...what I tell them to believe!"
Seems things haven't changed when it comes to newspaper barons.
