I’ve had it more than occasionally - with a hot sauce, some vinegar, some perfume (I know I know, the contents of my luggage is varied!!) At times follow up tests lead to late acceptance other times it’s just straight to the bin. So to cut a long story short, I’d take the risk with a fun bottle of Beaujolais Nouveau but certainly not with a 1982 Mouton Rothschild or a Pétrus.
