What's usually the deal when it comes to alcohol purchases from joints like Dan Murphy's, Liquorland, BWS etc? If you buy a bottle of liquor, take it home, have one drink from it and find it almost offensively awful lol…. and the bottle wasn't exactly cheap-o… are we allowed to take it back and ask for a refund?
I know for most food type groceries, we're fully entitled to return the leftover product to the store if we aren't satisfied.. but with alcohol, I can see why returning an open bottle wouldn't be exactly smiled upon. Yet a bottle of booze is often significantly more expensive than any grocery item… are we just expected to suck it up as a bad choice and deal with it (and cry while pouring it down the sink)? What are our rights?
Cheers.
Taste is a highly subjective and personal matter.
in my opinion, refund should be given if products are not fresh or faulty, not if they are not according to your taste.
I wouldn't be surprised if they refuse to refund. The liquor being offensively awful is your own personal opinion, others might think it is palatable. Otherwise, I can just grab the most expensive wine, have a few sips and tell them it tastes awful and demand refund :)
It's like going to the movies, good or bad movies you still have to pay for it.
