I did. So what does that tell you?

IIRC they say 1% of every natural cork is tainted. I don't know which wines you drink, but lets assume natural cork is for "fine" wine. So you would expect to buy 100 bottles of not-so-cheap wine to have 1 tainted. Again, I don't know which wine you drink or how often, but maybe this puts it in a broader light.
