agree  Robert Carter: Interesting. From the looks of things, it hasn't actually gone bad if it's pricked. There's a nice explanation of pricked vs. sour here https://books.google.com.mx/books?isbn=047111376X

  -> Thanks, Robert. Yes, it seems like it refers to wine going vinegary in the cask rather than in the bottle and it can be salvaged

corked


Explanation:
Although "corked" wine is actually a pre-vinegary stage, I have heard "picado" used to mean wine that is corked or just a bit off.

Example sentence(s):
  • Cork taint is a broad term referring to a wine fault characterized by a set of undesirable smells or tastes found in a bottle of wine
