No, there aren't any angry corks marauding around Vinoland - just an over zealous human-corker perhaps. Accidents happen. Besides, this particular bottle might simply have had a weak spot on it's neck or shoulder. Such a flaw in the glass would cause the bottle to break when pressure was applied from the hand-corker. But rest assured, no wine-drinkers, or Vinodogs, were hurt during the bottling of the 2011, St. Helena Cabernet Sauvignon (clone 7).
A leisurely lunch followed; corks were pulled from miscellaneous bottles and after a while the broken bottle was forgotten.
Job's a good 'un.

Vinogirl, "you get a lemon, you make. . ."
That's the spirit!
That's one I never had happen.
I always worried about that.
Phew! Alls well that drinks well, then. Tough job you got there girl
NHW: Bottling is fun and relatively accident-free. What's there not to like about packaging wine?
Tomasso: First time for everything!
Thud: Probably happens more frequently with cheap glass from China.
ALW: Yes, happy, and tipsy, endings all round.
