Is there any solution to soak cork to prevent from happening ? like campden powder or sulfur...

[@narupanonngarmkham]

can you please help me to answer the situation I tried to open a wooden wine cork from a bottle of French rose but the cork was pushed down and floated inside the bottle. I have tasted the wine was not fault or lacking flavour but I am not sure the problem is form cork taint.

Hi - no this is a deteriorating cork that has lost its seal with the wine bottle. This will not cause a corked wine but more likely an oxidised wine
