Step 8: Remove the Cork From the Corkscrew
Look at the cork to make sure there has been no damage to it during storage.
Signs of damage would include: cracks running up the sides of the cork, a
wine level that can be seen to have absorbed into the cork past one third of its
length, mold, or other signs of deterioration. If the cork is acceptable, pour
yourself a small amount into your glass.
