i was making my pasta sause and I used one of my husbands wines (Norton Malbec I believe). I only used half of the bottle and poured some to drink. I drank a glass and at the end felt some hard "pebbles" and felt like sand in my mouth. I swallowed some and spit out the others. They were clear like glass! I went put the cork back into the bottle and realized that the part of the cork that is inside the bottle was incrusted with the little glass looking pieces. So, does red wine crystalize or did I just dring glass?????? The wine was not chilled. It was horizontal on the wine rack for a couple of months. Help please, I can't get a hold of my husband who is the wine expert. :o(

They are tartaric acid crystals. They are HARMLESS, odorless and tasteless.
They are a result of the winery not practicing cold-stabilization.

If you think your wine had glass in it, just eat a bunch of lettuce. You will need the roughage and it will all come out.

If you are really worried I would take the sample to the local hospital, just in case, I am sorry I don't know what that could be

It could be residue from the wine.
