Send them back, unless they were described as having pushed out corks (in which case you should have read the fine print). They are either heat damaged or were frozen and that pushed the corks out. I've seen both happen. Freezing is better than heat, but why risk it. Either way, I would never buy a ...

Well, it depends on who you talk to in the Douro about aging Colheita's in bottle. Some, such as Niepoort, believe that colheita's can and do age in bottle. Some, such as Barros, believe the opposite. Personnally, I think younger ones will age some, but the older ones don't really age all that much....

I used one of those compressed air/needle things at a friends last night. I would not be comfortable using that on an old bottle. Modern glass maybe, as long as there was no flaws in the glass...but no way to tell until it explodes. So until something better comes out, i'll stick to tongs or an Ah-S...

Triumphstuff, allow me to explain simply. yes there are very good people here, some that I've met in person several times now even though I live 1/2 a world away. However, what your trying to sell doesn't happen overnight and there WILL BE a LOT of questions asked. especially since you are new to th...

My understanding, and what I've been told, is producers cannot SELL any Vintage Port in anything larger than a magnum. However, they can (and do) bottle larger formats that are given away as gifts (The 3L of Sandeman Vau Vintage most recently comes to mind). I've seen plenty of double mags and some ...
