I all, I make fruit wine kits. I had a conversation with the local brewing store about sanitizing corks. I never sanitized my corks before with no problems. How ever he suggested soaking the corks in the sterilizing solution just in case. So I soaked them in sodium metabisulphite sterilizing solution for 10 minutes then well rinsed. I just bottled two wine kits doing this. On bottling day the wine was very good full of fruit flavor. The day after very plain no flavor. At first I was thinking bottle shock. Now 2 weeks later still plain with a faint smell of sodium metabisulphite solution. So do you think these bottles are wrecked or will they come back to they way they should taste?
