The world’s oldest wine club has recalled more than 15,000 bottles of its own label Prosecco worth £145,000 after five shattered in customers’ wine racks.

Members of The Wine Society who bought the 75cl bottles have been advised to return the Italian sparkling wine to the business over fears the glass could break.

A total of 15,313 bottles of The Society’s Prosecco – costing around £145,473 – have been affected.

There were no reported injuries but the wine, which costs £9.50 per bottle, has been recalled and temporarily withdrawn from the company’s website as a precaution.
