Something floating in Chenin Blanc

Maybe a bit of cork? Not uncommon in my experience. Drinking cork can be a good thing if you're a swimmer ... more buoyancy.

Of course :-) Dick

It is such a substantial amount of substance that I have a hard time believing it is cork, but of course that is the natural assumption I made as well. It is so much though.

Hi again Kimi, I have had a couple of experiences that I can only attribute to a dry cork. I opened the bottle, poured a glass and there was a cork "powder" floating on top. Might be a situation where, when the corkscrew penetrates the entire length of a dry cork, some fine bits of cork fall into the bottle. Didn't want to throw the bottle away so I ran the wine through a coffee filter. If the substance floats, you would think it almost has to be cork, but I don't know for sure. Just a thought.

I have not opened the bottle yet. I guess I should, just to see what the substance is. :-)

Can you describe it, is it like a cloud? a solid piece of woood like material? If you can see it tell us what it looks like and we can all have a much better discussion.
