Returning corked wine

What do you do when a bottle of wine that you have purchased is corked or has some fault? Do we ever return corked wine to stores?

The cork vs screw cap debate is one of the most passionately pursued points amongst wine lovers, writers and producers. The pro-cork lobby along with all of its PR, press releases and nifty videos is one of the most aggressive attempts to influence consumer opinion that I have seen in the wine market.

Thanks to modern technology going a long way towards eliminating the presence of cork taint, the debate is often based around environmental issues these days. But that soggy cardboard, wet dog on the sofa, hessian sack creature that is TCA is still around, and sneaks up on you every now and then.
