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.
