Problem of course, with this method, is that corks tend to be used on older
wines that are likely to have sediment, so the last thing you want to do is
hit the bottom on a wall. If it's a home stored wine and the bottle has
been on its side so as to keep the cork moist, there will be a layer of
sediment all down the side which will make a right old mess after any
thumping. But on the other hand home brewing corks are usually rubbish and
will not have been airtight anyway...


I reckon everyone else drinks cheap filtered wine, not the real stuff.
That bothered me too.
