Bottled today the 2nd of 5, 30 bottle batches of cab sauv. After bottling I brought them into the kitchen to pressure equalize. I was out in the garage cleaning up and when I came in my wife asked what that loud cracking noise was. I told her that I didn't hear it and that it wasn't me. I looked at the floor and there were a few drops of something wet on the floor. Then I saw a small pillage of wine on the counter. I told her that I thought we had a wine bottle leaker. I started feeling the neck of the bottles to determine if a neck broke from the cork. OK there. Started moving them 1 at a time and came to one that I picked up, leaving the entire bottom of the bottle on the counter, the empty bottle in my hand and an a whole bottle of wine now on the countertop, front of the cabinets and the rest on the floor. Never had that happen before. Wonder why.
