[quote=Anonymous]DH and I are wine drinkers in our 50s who dine out often. This has happened exactly once to us. It is not common for a wine served to truly be “corked” or bad. It will taste and smell terrible. This is distinct from wine that is not to your liking but is otherwise fine just not something you enjoy. These days in most restaurants (not all but most) you can ask for a recommended wine and they would be fine giving you a small taste to see if you’d be happy with it. You should also get comfortable asking - say you are new to exploring wine and/or still figuring out what you like and can you sample before ordering a full glass of something you may not like. Don’t be greedy and expect lots of samples, and realize some may say no but in general you should find they are happy to do so and you may learn a lit in the process. Have fun with it![/quote]
