ORIGINAL: PMDias Well, first thing we need to determine is whether there really is a problem: mold is a common occurrence in natural caves, and I've heard at least a couple of wine-makers state their belief that it somehow contributes to the character of their wines. While in many caves in Burgundy last year, there were whole vintages of wine covered in mold, like a carpet, ageing peacefully. The winemakers didn't seem to think it was a problem. Of course there were no labels yet, the bottles being marked with wax pencil until the labels are affixed, so no paper for the mold to eat. But quite interesting to say the least!
