Wow, bummer. My guess is a humidity problem (too high?). Anybody else?

I agree with indybob -- high humidity is probably the cause. It should be around 60% to 70%.

Thankfully these bottles are not extremely valuable, its not all the bottles, infact it is mostly a particular one. No sweating on the bottles at all. The temp is 55 and humidity is around 50. Thanks for all your thoughts.
