Help, did we just ruin our wine?

So for a wedding we had this great idea to put our own labels on the wine. Reading online it suggested we soak the bottles in warm water and dish soap, so we filled every sink we had with the hottest tap water, 120 Fahrenheit, and after about 30 minutes we heard a label breaking, only to find one cork popped out about a quarter inch, and a few other corks didn't break the seal but have a bit of a bulge on the cap. We are now panicking as we are worries we just ruined 50 bottles of wine with a wedding in a few days.

What are the chances the wine is garbage? We have some reds and whites. We are going to taste test some, but we are worried that even if one bottle is good, the others might taste terrible.

Thoughts?
