- 1). Retain your receipt. Most liquor stores will allow the return of wine accompanied by a receipt.
- 2). Bring your near-full bottle of wine back to the store where it was purchased. Most stores will not refund wine if the bottle is empty or half full.
- 3). Refuse the wine immediately if served at a restaurant. Check the wine when it is opened and before it is poured for other guests.
