The foil on top of the cork was very, very thin aluminum. From what I can gather, when the wine got warm, it was able to slip slowly passed the cork and put some force on the wrapper on top. After a while, the cork must have just fallen out (the bottle was on it's side, facing downward when I found it).
After finding this, I concluded that the wine was probably just as cheap as it's packaging!  | Actually those plastic/rubber corks are used by many including very expensive wines... not that I like them at all - it's just not a 'cheap only' package option
