    Also the ‘in matters of taste’ does not fit in every occasion.

    If you order an expensive bottle of wine you can’t return it because you don’t like it. The trading ritual exists to make sure the wine doesn’t have a defect. If the wine is fine but not too your taste, well then that’s bad luck.

      I thought that until the day a french friend of mine sent a bottle back because he didn’t like it. I’m still not over the audacity of that moment

        Depends a bit in how often they sell the particular bottle and if they do wine by the glass.

        But if you order a Romanée Conti you will pay for it.
