Do you enjoy a glass of wine? Well watch out, because the bottle might explode in your face. 

After receiving several reports of wine bottles spontaneously exploding in Fine Wine & Good Spirits stores, The Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board is asking consumers to carefully dispose of Indigenous Selections Prosecco Brut 2013, a chairman's selection wine. 

"Consumers should use caution when handling this product," Chairman, Joseph E. Brion said. "While we have not had any reports from consumers who may have been affected, we want to take every precaution in order to avoid a safety issue. Those who purchased the product can contact their local Fine Wine & Good Spirits Store for a full refund." 

The board is also asking customers not to return the bottle back to the store, instead, they can receive a full refund by just providing the original receipt of purchase. 

In early June, Prosecco Brut was sold for $12.99 a bottle in about 180 stores, it has now been removed from all Fine Wine and Good Spirits locations. Currently, the board is working with vendors to figure out what's causing the wine to suddenly erupt.
