I tried to open a bottle of Cabernet Sauvignon MISTAKE! The stupid synthetic cork was so embedded and stuck that it broke my cork screw. I had to use a mallet and a screw driver to break it, which broke half the bottle neck... still the cork was stuck. Only with the help of a pair of pliers was I able to free the wretched cork! And after all that, the wine is below mediocre!

BEWARE THE IMITATION PRODUCTS FROM BARINGERS, WHO ARE TOO CHEAP TO USE REAL CORKS!!!!

Thank god it was a gift because I'd really be angry if I had spent my own money on their junk!

This is only my opinion.... I hope you have had a more pleasant experience.
