It’s Monday, Let’s raise a glass to the beginning of another week. It’s time to unscrew, uncork or saber a bottle and let’s begin Exploring the Wine Glass!

Today, we return to the most absurd, outrageous, and downright hilarious bad reviews the wine world has to offer!

Ever been scolded for holding your glass “incorrectly”? Denied a sip of water like you're stranded in the desert? Or maybe you’ve been put in your place by a winery that says your work emergency isn’t their responsibility? Well, you’re not alone! Today, we’re uncorking a selection of one-star reviews featuring dirty driveways, questionable customer service, and a masterclass in how not to use a thesaurus.

So, pour yourself a glass (however you want to hold it), and get ready to laugh, cringe, and maybe even shake your head in secondhand embarrassment. Let’s get into it!

Martha McBride is the host of My Aloof Vagina, an irreverent podcast about perimenopause and midlife dating and relationships. She’s led wine tastings around the country and trained others to do the same. Though she knows her way around a tasting room, both behind the counter and as a customer, she (fortunately) hasn’t run into many one-star situations. You can find her show at myaloofvagina.com or wherever you listen to podcasts.
