I’d question the effectiveness: I stood opposite a young guy who just clean fainted on one of the hottest days. He fell like an axed tree-trunk in the heat.

After a few minutes he was fine again, but he’d slid on the floor straight into my bag from the alcohol store and broken my wine-bottle at around 4pm on a Saturday. Anyone who knows Sweden will understand who came out of the experience worse.

Given it was hot enough to faint someone at 4pm, wine would be waste already being in such temperature for more than an hour (systembolaget closes at 3pm)?

Probably not... but just a consolation...

People living in Spain and France just throw away their wine if they haven’t consumed it one hour after purchase?

I hope not. It was a semi-humorous take on someone worrying about a bottle of wine while another human fainted due to excessive heat.

I have no idea how long wine would be good in 30C+, I guess it would survive 1 hour.

I felt compelled to reply here, so this answer doesn't start a myth about Spaniards or French.

On Saturdays, Yes.
