Anyone ever complained to Lidl? 11:00 - Dec 27 with 3111 viewsPegojack

My mum bought me a £10 bottle of six year old Borolo in Port Talbot Lidl's a few weeks ago for my Christmas Day lunch, knowing it's my favourite red wine.

When I opened it and poured, a pale red vinegar like liquid emerged from the bottle. One sip told me it had as much similarity to Borolo as Brad Bobbley has to a football manager. Almost spoiled my Christmas lunch, I had been looking forward to it that much.

I'm not driving all the way to Baglan Moors to take it back. Any suggestions about the best way to complain?

Stand outside the store chanting 'we want our Borolo back, we want our Borolo back'. Hasn't worked down the Liberty yet but it is getting under their skin.

Sounds liked an oxidised or 'corked' bottle rather than the wine itself. As faulty you should be able to return to any branch. If not try Lidl customer services.

I had a friend who once brought some milk that had gone sour from Tesco's in Stokes Croft, I'd say adopt a direct approach?

I would try customer services . you can do it online at:

https://ssl.lidl.co.uk/en/customer-service-contact-form-uk.htm

They may have had other complaints about that particular vintage so may just send you a replacement or refund.

Complain? That's how it's meant to taste sir.

Oh I see, you thought a ten pound Barolo should taste like, er, Barolo. Would you like a sit down?

Actually I've had that in the past and it's normally drinkable (I'm not a wine snob mind, thats a penlan opinion) Take it back to your local store.

Better still just forget it and if you want a ten pound wine try Sainsbury Barberesco (same grape as Barolo) or best of all just get a bottle of jip jip (thanks Warwick!), from Waitrose and drink a toast to Lidl vinegar for new year.

I like that approach too, its not so much that the wine was spoilt, but it also spoilt the best lunch of the year your Christmas Day Lunch which is priceless, take them for everything Mike don't accept anything that's second best.

Wine? Wine? How positively bohemian.

Jack Daniels and Coke* all the way, rock and roll dude.


* Personally, use Cherry Pepsi Max instead... much better

Yeah, the till went a bit mental and ended up with 3 staff under it trying to fix it. I paid for the lot quickly as is the usual Lidl high pressure way of scan and get the hell away from my till as I am scanning the next customer. When I got home I had been charged 3 times for the same item. Had to call and took around 3 weeks before I got a letter to go to the store, and have them take the money off my next shop.

That is a hassle as the till staff can't do it and have to call a supervisor. Almost caused the bloke behind me to explode in rage.

Funny enough the only bad bottle of wine I've ever bought was also a bottle of barolo from Lidl about 5 or 6 years ago to celebrate New Year's Eve which cost £18 and was really poor. Should have taken it back but the time and effort didn't seem worth it. I wish I had now.

I bought a spit roast in Lidl once, lasted about a week.
Very flimsy when in full flow.
