Germany Recalls VINNOCENCE Alcohol-Free Wines Over Bottle Rupture Risk

The recall follows a manufacturer finding that yeast contamination can trigger secondary fermentation that poses a shattered glass hazard

Overview

  • The recall applies across all federal states to 200-ml bottles of VINNOCENCE Chardonnay, Merlot and Rosé with lot numbers L211285B, L211285E and L211285D and best-before date 08.11.2026.
  • Manufacturer Peter Riegel Weinimport GmbH identified yeast contamination that can resume fermentation (Bombage) and build pressure, risking glass breakage and potential injuries.
  • Consumers should not open or store the affected bottles and may safely dispose of contents by pouring them out with a towel or return the bottles to the point of sale for a refund.
  • Customers who have already discarded their bottles can claim reimbursement without a receipt by contacting Peter Riegel Weinimport GmbH by phone at 07774-9313 0 or email at [email protected].
  • No injuries have been confirmed to date, but the notice warns of serious dangers such as eye injuries from flying glass shards and advises seeking medical attention if an incident occurs.
