Traces of Mould/Fungus on Cork

[dearleuk]

Bottled this wine about 3 months ago and now I have Traces of mould or wine on some of the corks. It wipes off easily enough. The corks are bare, no plastic sleeves or anything.

Should I be worried?

No i don't think you need to worry,The vast,vast majority of mould is harmless.

However for future reference it is a good idea to soak your corks in strong sulphite solution ( campden.)for a few hours before using them.
