If you’ve picked up a bottle of French red wine recently, you might want to double-check the label. Spain’s food safety agency, AESAN, has issued an urgent alert about a popular red sold in supermarkets all over the country. The reason? A risk of glass fragments in the bottle.
The wine in question is Cotes Du Rhone Cellier Des Dauphins (AOC), a 75cl bottle that’s widely available. The alert specifically refers to bottles from batch number L25056, with barcode 3179071000978.
Carrefour acted promptly
This warning came from health authorities in the Community of Madrid. They quickly shared it through the Rapid Information Exchange System (SCIRI). Once the issue was flagged, the Spanish distributor Carrefour acted promptly, informing the authorities and pulling the affected stock from its shelves. They’ve also advised customers to bring back any bottles they may have at home, even partially used ones, for a full refund.
Only one batch of red wine recalled
Importantly, only this specific batch is affected. Other Cellier Des Dauphins wines and different lots are not involved in the recall.
AESAN has asked consumers not to drink the wine if they’ve already purchased it. Instead, return it to the shop where you bought it. Authorities across Spain are now coordinating efforts to remove all affected bottles from sale.
Here’s the red wine recalled:
- Name: Cotes Du Rhone Cellier Des Dauphins (AOC)
- Origin: France
- Packaging: 75cl glass bottle
- Batch number: L25056
- Barcode: 3179071000978
- Brand: Cellier Des Dauphins
This isn’t the only recent food alert AESAN has issued. The agency also flagged undeclared soy in wholegrain breadsticks from Auchan just days earlier.
To find out whether your bottle is among the affected or if you need more information, visit the AESAN website or ask directly at your local shop. Better to play it safe—and keep that wine glass free from unexpected crunch.
