To ask why so much wine is off now when you open it?

[JontyDoggle37]

I’m really fed up. Keeping buying decent is bottles of white (£8-£10 bracket) and finding they’re full of small bubbles, have basically started to ferment, and taste really sharp and acids, plus of you actually drink it give you a much worse hangover. It’s inly been the last 2-3 years I’ve noticed this happening more and this year especially ( Tesco and Sainsbury purchases, not own brand but recognised makes). It’s really pissing me off I want to enjoy my wine!!! It can’t be the screw tops because they’ve been around for ages and this hardly ever used to happen...

‘Scuse the typos, I blame the shoddy wine 😳😂

It's why there is no such thing as left over wine at our house

Well you know what not to buy then.

So stop buying cheap wine. Crap wine has always been crap.

Don't spend more than a fiver and you'll be fine...

Keeping buying decent is bottles of white (£8-£10 bracket) and finding they’re full of small bubbles, have basically started to ferment Surely they should have started to ferment a long time ago, in order to produce the wine in the first place?

This is not a problem that I've come across. The only white wine with bubbles in that I've bought is vinho verde, and that's meant to have bubbles in in because it's fresh wine, not quite finished its fermentation.

I quite often buy cheap wine for around 8-10 pounds and I haven't found this.

Oops I forgot this is Mumsnet and £8-£10 would be considered ‘cheap’. Cheap wine to me is the £5-7 bracket, and over a tenner is a treat...how silly of me not to spend £20 on a bottle and to expect that any wine I buy to be fit to drink....🙄

Does the wine you buy have a real cork?

Could it be corked, but I have no idea what that means.

I've never had off wine but I only really drink cheap cava costing about £5-6 a bottle.

Are you storing them somewhere stupid? Hot conservatory etc?

Or are you buying the same type from the same shop and it's all from the same batch that has the same problem?

Never had the issue. I buy cheaper wine than you

Cheap wine hasn’t always been crap though. And £10 a bottle isn’t cheap.

Have never had this problem with wine in that price bracket

I drink wine in that kind of bracelet and haven't noticed anything could it be your palette has changed? Maybe try a different variety 🤷🏻‍♀️

Lol at £10 a bottle being 'cheap'

I buy really cheap wine and it’s never “off”. Try paying less.

The only time I have had something like that is wine from a corner shop.

Never had that problem in wine from £5 upwards from supermarkets or wine merchants.

Tell me what you like and I will recommend some good cheap wine. I rarely spend more than a tenner but it helps to research and shop around.

I drink a lot of wine 😳 I’ve never had that and I drink red, white and rose. I pay between 6-10 a bottle depending on the occasion, but the cheaper the better IMO.

Co-op fair trade wines r usually very good. Haven't tried them all yet tho.

Perhaps it's the sulfites? I'm intolerant to them.

Is anyone else wondering what gone off wine tastes like? I would probably still drink and not know the difference

Never had any problems with my £6 rosé 🍷

I have never had this problem at all. As a pp asked; where are you storing the wine? (if you do). How quickly do you drink it once opened? Are you buying from a shop that's perhaps not storing it properly?
Or perhaps your brain/body is telling you it doesn't like wine anymore!
