Fake corks?
#19
A couple of days before this thread started I opened a bottle of Bull's Blood and found a plastic cork. I had never noticed one before. Egri Bikaver (Bull's Blood) is an old Hungarian wine that has been one of my favorites for the last thirty years. I was at first surprised, but I remembered corks are a novelty that have only been used in wine making for the last three hundred years or so.

Real corks don't work very well. They only last for about twenty to twenty five years in my experience. I doubt Attila would have bothered, and besides he had a better solution to the population problem.
