Consumed expired Alcohol!

Hi, My name is Tumi and I live in Alex. Yesterday afternoon I bought 2x 1litre Robertson's Natural Sweet Red wine boxes at Watt Ave, Wynberg, Sandton, 2090 branch only to discover that both boxes had expired on 04/12/2020 and I had unfortunately consumed half of the box after my second glass, I started feeling sick. that is when I realized that my wine had expired. When I bought the wine I did not receive a slip as well and this makes me think that their selling expired products was deliberate, luckily I had used my bank card to make the purchase. I will be going back to the store today to return the wine but what is frustrating even more is the fact that I need to pay for additional transport just to get to the place.

I am not sure if I need to go to the doctor since I do not know what side effect are for consuming expired alcohol. Please look into this and come back to me!

Thanks,

Hi Tumi. We have spoken to the store owner, he advised that he is doing an investigation and checking his stock. Please contact him direct. Carlos De Freitas ***. He would like to discuss this matter with you. He promises that it was not his intention to sell expired stock. Sorry about this

I went back to the store and spoke to Carlos telephonic ally and he clarified that it was not the expiry date but field date on the actual box and the funny taste must have been the manufacturer. Apologies on my part and thank you for coming back to me regarding this matter.
