wine seeping from corks
Orlando,
Through the _center_ of the corks? By any chance, did you reuse corks
that had been pulled with a corkscrew? Also, it is common practice to
stand newly corked bottles upright for a few days, to a week, to allow
any leakage to escape as air, before the corks seat snugly. Did you? In
any case, just stand the bottles up, clean them up, and wait a bit.
They'll be fine if the corks sound.
