Cork Lined Caps
Why do so many German riesling bottles look tainted?
In my experience, I've come across many German riesling bottles which have sticky, gooey foil caps and dried, sticky wine stains running down the side which normally would make me suspicious of the wine's condition. However, I've never had one that was corked or oxidized, in spite of the outward appearance. Do they just tend to overfill their bottles on the bottling line?
I've never been too worried about leakage as the fill levels are always excellent. Also, the sugar argument doesn't quite hold because I've never had this problem with any of my Sauternes, which have even higher levels of residual sugar.
I work in a supermarket and none of our German riesling bottles has ever had this happen. You might want to shop elsewhere if you feel there is something wrong with those bottles at that particular store. All our wine bottles are clean and I have never seen this. As for the reason I cannot explain, sorry.
