Folks,
I committed a sin with some silicone corks and I am unsure what potential health hazards there may be. The corks only mentioned to avoid soaking - so I threw boiling water over them which duly melted the silicone off.
When I used them in the 6 bottles that I corked there was a nasty looking dark ooze that come out of the cork and I am wondering if there is now a potenital health risk from the silicone being in thw wine.
I also wondered the best method of steralizing these in future?
