I bought a bottle of wine and it tasted like I licked the walls of my basement!!! This is not the first time that this has happened to me and I feel bad taking it back. What should I do to prevent this from happening again, and what causes this?

Dear Stan,
Well the first thing we need to say is Do Not feel Bad! The reason that you should not feel bad taking it back because it does not hurt the wine store. All they would do is tell the company that sold it to them and they will take it back. Most of the time it is just one bottle but in a few cases it can be a case of wine. What happens is the bottle [mostly reds] are in a bad temperature and they turn.
To prevent this from happening again just stop buying wine or you just have to look at wine like it is a living, breathing organism. Some times it is a shot in the dark, or just find a better store if you have received wines from one store that this has happened to you before.
For your own wines at home you have to take care of it like your children especially if you buy high cost wines. Put the wine in a good temperature say 50 degrees F to 58 degrees F for reds and 38 degrees F to 50 degrees F for whites. If you like a colder white that is up to you but in some good wine you will miss some of the fruity flavors.
We hope this helps and if you have any other questions on this please let us know.
Sincerely,
Chef Chat Cafe
