Lidl have paid £100 compensation to a customer after one of their wine bottles was spilled in his kitchen.
Chris Burke, 53, was fuming when the bottle of red covered his kitchen walls with large stains.
The 53-year-old accused the supermarket giant of selling a faulty item, as the cork fell straight into the bottle.
Former cop, Chris, claims the dodgy wine left his freshly installed blinds ruined.
He launched a battle against Lidl who agreed to cough up for the damage, according to Devon Live.
Chris, from Barnstaple, Devon said: "I bought a bottle of red wine from Lidl and it would appear the cork wasn't fitted correctly.
"I placed a corkscrew on the top and the cork slipped straight into the bottle and red wine squirted, or ejaculated if you like, out the bottle all over my white walls.
"The three walls had to be repainted and the kitchen blind was covered in red wine so that will need to be replaced.
"I went straight back to Lidl the next day. I explained what had happened and they took the bottle and refunded it straight back.''
Chris said he had to buy a new tin of paint for £30 and spent nine hours repainting the kitchen.
He also had to replace a £93 blind, and wanted Lidl to compensate him for both items - a total of £123.
He was eventually offered £98.91.
Chris received a letter which read: "Thank you for providing us with the invoices for the cost of damage.
''A letter will be sent to you to sign and then a cheque raised for the sum of £98.91.
"I would like to thank you for your patience while we look into your complaint and I hope this correspondence assures you that your complaint is being taken seriously."
