I rarely avoid punching through the bottom of the cork when opening wine, so I get these little bits floating in it. Sometimes, you can pour them out of the bottle, but it's hard. Try this: get a straw, and do that thing where you dip one end and cover the other with a finger. Do it so the cork bits are trapped at the bottom in a drop of wine and then release it in the sink. Rinse and repeat until all cork bits are gone.
