Bad Rose - what to do?

I was suspicious when I saw this on distributor close-out, but it was so cheap I had to buy a case and try it. Snake-eyes. This wine is beyond tragically horrible and not even as a joke would I foist it upon friend or foe. Any ideas other than dumping and recycling? Can I water plants with it or will the alcohol kill the plants? And rest assured, there is plenty of alcohol.

Find an empty bottle of Autriment Dit and make some money?

it has alcohol and its pink

donate it to any sorority at sonoma state

Has it been VERY bad?

i used to do some work for a winery and for festivals we would make spritzers with rose and 7-up. it was pretty refreshing and the sweetness and bubbles might overpower whatever is bad in the wine.

I can’t even think of a recipe that calls for rose so you could cook with it.

This is an interesting thought…

How old is it?

2007

it worked well with a nice rose and drinks pretty well on a super hot day. id give it a shot. whats wrong with the rose? just old?

It’s an alcoholic mess. It is a shame to see this winemaker/winery is no longer in business, but if he/they released other wines like this, it’s not hard to see why.

Will,
You can take your Rose & I’ll take the one I have here (you know which one) and we can make a big punch bowl full of spritzers to start Berserkerfest with . I bet your Rose is better than mine

Note to self, beware of purveyors of pink drinks at Berserkerfest.

I’ve got 9 left, so maybe we can get a little kiddy pool instead? I’m sure the Dodger fans in the house will love it.

Why torture yourself? Dump it.

hey keep the bad rose away from beserkerfest I will be bringing my rose and from what my customers tell me, Its pretty darned good.

Disclaimer - i made it and I like it too.

Why not return it?

The worst Rose I ever had was the 05 PAX. I grabbed a few bottles for a party … mainly because they were cool bottles … and it was PAX … there should be some level of quality. I gave a second bottle a try … equally horrible. I had a 3rd bottle that I could have returned to Winex … but I kept it as a decoration. So if you are going to make crappy Rose … at least put it in a cool bottle so we can use it as an ornament.

What Dan said. The distributor should take it back without issue.
