Wine lovers need to be careful because their latest purchase could be dangerous.

With two wines there is a risk that the bottles will explode.

Kassel – For many, a glass of wine is part of the end of the day or a good meal.

The fact that a danger could emanate from this is probably not suspected.

However, that could now be the case with two types of wine.

There is a possibility that the bottles may explode.

Wine lovers should therefore be careful - you need to know that:

There is a risk of secondary fermentation in the affected bottles.

According to the manufacturer Weingut Rieger, this can lead to a so-called bombage, in which the bottle explodes.

Both of these types of wine are being recalled

As the dealer reports in a statement, these are the following two types:

Both of these wines can be affected by secondary fermentation.

• ZERO WHITE lot number 11-22

• ZERO RED lot number 12-22

• Brand: Weingut Rieger

• Both wines are offered in 0.75 liter bottles and have the best before date July 30th, 2024

Both products are actually alcohol-free wines, but the secondary fermentation means that there is still alcohol in the affected bottles.

Customers of the affected products are asked to contact the manufacturer and the purchase price will be refunded.

The contact details are given in the notice.

Wine Recall: Watch out for these signs

The manufacturer names the following signs that customers can use to determine whether their wine is post-fermenting.

• A cloudy color indicates that the bacteria and yeast are still active.

• Streaky cloudy substances are also a sign of yeast formation.

• Yeast deposits at the bottom of the bottle

• Significant Co2 formation

Wine recalled: bombage by secondary fermentation in bottles

During fermentation, the sugar in the wine is converted into alcohol and carbonic acid.

This process stops when the product is ready for sale.

You can stop the fermentation process, for example, by so-called sulphuring, according to the portal

.

If the wine is not treated sufficiently to preserve it, secondary fermentation can occur.

According to the manufacturer, in this case carbonic acid continues to form in the bottles and the pressure inside the bottle increases.

This goes on loudly until the bottle can no longer withstand the pressure and explodes.

A strange taste can be an indication of secondary fermentation.

But even if the bottle remains undamaged, a difference in taste will be noticeable in the glass at the latest.

The aroma of the wine changes during the fermentation process.

If the fermentation process is not completely ended, the aroma will continue to change and will be severely impaired, writes the online magazine

.

If you notice a strange taste, it is better to throw the wine away.

Not only a bombing of wine bottles can lead to glass splinters.

Glass splinters were also recently found in tomato sauce and were therefore urgently recalled.
