Life or death Leaking wine

[Crockof]

Sorry need quick response. Wine is leaking from wine bottle I just put on its side (unopened just bought) I need wine (trust me on this one)
Can I drink it

Yes

Yes.

Open it, smell it.
If it is wine, drink it.
If it is vinegar, cook with it.
Cheers

Yes!

It is obviously an emergency and needs must! Cheers 🍷

Yes 🍷 is essential

Thank fuck for you lot. I knew you would be quicker than Google (assistant just kept talking about corks.)
pours, drinks then breathes

If the cork has shrunk then air has gotten in. The wine might be off but you won’t know til you open it.

Enjoy your wine

Tip for next time: if it's essential, buy screwtop

@Redshoeblueshoe it was a screw top

Excellent I hope you are enjoying it 🍷

I had a leaking bottle once, realised when it was leaking on the tablecloth.

Bottle was cracked. Didn't drink it due to small risk of glass. If it is just the screw top it would be fine, but a crack...

If you’re worried about bits of glass then run it through a sieve.
It won’t be ‘corked’ as it’s a screw top.
Enjoy!

Check for damage and taste if it’s not broken.
