''Gone off'' wine from QDC

Poppins
By Poppins

We opened a new box of wine last night which had recently been purchased from QDC to discover that it had gone off. It's the same wine we alway buy so know what to expect on opening a box. Opened a second box and it was fine.
Has anyone had this experience before,did you return it to QDC and if so how did you get on?

I had a box of wine which went off. Unfortunately the pressure in the box started building up so I had to pour it away before the thing burst. By this time it was undrinkable, although I tried to drink it. I didn't think QDC would have believed me if I had turned up with an empty box claiming my money back.

That is came in a "box" should be your first clue that you may have made a bad selection.

Another reason not to shop at QDC.

Take it back to QDC, they will either replace it or give your money back.

Equal to 6 bottles but in a bag inside a box so no glass.

No harm in taking it back even if you do not hear someone did or not. At the most they may not take it back though the probability of it seems quite low. And if you do, do not forget to mention your experience here.

Take it back and demand a refund or replacement - you would if you were at home, why should it be any different in Qatar.

I just feel that a whole box (QR136)is too much not to bring back and complain about, so am wondering if anyone else has had a similar situation and brought stuff back to QDC.
