Fortunately, the plastic bag had not yet broken, so I took it outside to discard. Had the bag broken, there would have been quite a mess to clean up.
There is a 'no return' policy by 'Wild Grapes', but Amazon did give me a full refund.
I have bought about 50 wine kits of various brands over the past 5 years, and this is the first time something like this happened. This is the first (and last) 'Wild Grapes' wine kit I bought.
I realize things like this can happen, but this does not speak well for their quality control. Also, there is no expiration date printed anywhere on the box - as on some other brands. The yeast had an expiration date of 09-2021, so it is likely the product is not too old, just defective.
The 'Wild Grapes' wine kit arrived Oct 22, 2019. Everything looked fine upon arrival. On Nov 9, 2019 I went to make some wine and found the top of the box had exploded open with the juice bag filled with gas and ready to burst. See the photo.
