question Re auction purchase
I recently bid at a reputable local online wine auction. I bid on a mid 1990's wine only described as weeping. There was no other description so I assumed excellent fill level. I was the only bidder and won the wine. When I got home with the wine I found the ullage to be about VHS. The T&C state...
