A bar owner I know had a customer who purchased and drank most of a bottle of wine. The customer then approached the bar saying the wine had sherried and so she wanted another bottle. |

Maybe it had gone off in the bottle. I had never realised a new and unopened bottle could go off. I knew about opened bottles though. |

It can definitely go off in the bottle. We found we had several bottles that we had either bought for an event or been given. We had great fun over the next few weeks playing wine bingo. Or ‘is it, isn’t it’. |

I expect the bar owner gave the drinker her marching orders, Tawny! After all, she had drunk most of the bottle! |

A few years back I was waiting in line for Customer Services to do a collect from the supermarket. |

Well, Maddie, I am proud to say that I once came second in a wine contest ----- (haha) --- not tasting, but the rudimentary aspects of wine - and I am not a wine lover at all. |

A lot of our ‘bingo’ wine was screw topped. Nowadays to say wine is corked actually means it is off. |

Names, she was a chancer who was making money out of the supermarket, getting a new bottle and her money back on a weekly basis. They were fed up with her, but no-one wanted to tackle her becaused she caused a stink. |
