Just found these two corks (apart from the one I removed from the bottle) inside a 2017 bottle of Aglianico di Baal from Casa di Baal Azienda Agricola. I bought it directly from the winery in Italy back in july 2022.
Does anyone know why this might’ve happened?
Is it a way to save wine/money? A taste enhancer? A manufacturing mistake (it’s from a small family owned place)?
Hope someone can enlighten us!

Definitely a manufacturing mistake. Most likely they have a small bottling line with a stand alone automatic corker. The button got pressed a couple extra times on the same bottle giving you the triple cork. Kind of odd they wouldn’t have caught it since that would displace a good amount of wine
cuz this was your 4th bottle, last night?
Happened to me 2 times in my life actually! in Sicilia and Bohemia. I spoke with winemaker about that (both bottles bought from the winery) – and 24moop is right. Apprently those rented smaller bottling lines produce 1/50 faulty bottle on average, so you are lucky probably 😀
Wines corked m8
It’s the Golden Cork! You and a friend get to take the corks with the bottle to the Winery for a free behind the scenes tour! (Just read the small print on anything you sign before you go!)
They are obviously made of gold. Isńt that a good thing?
u/24moop is correct.
Also, that wine is fucking delicious. Nice choice!
It looks like the belt machine stopped, but corker kept doing its job.
Never seen that before..!
Because you pushed two corks in the bottle and posted it on Reddit lol
Two cork or not two cork, that is the question
