Yes, there exists such a thing as too much wine

　　Look out American oenophiles¹. Roughly one million bottles of wine are about to be poured down the drain².
　　The Australian winemaker that crafts the popular Penfolds³ brand is dumping as much as $35 million AUS ($32 million) in wine in the United States.
　　Treasury Wine Estates⁴ says it's working to get rid of "excess, aged and deteriorating inventory" in the U.S. since it was unable to sell the wine as quickly as planned.
　　The wine being dumped won't be the company's finest⁵ vintages, but the cheaper labels that have a relatively short shelf life.
　　The wine was sitting in warehouses for months - possibly even years - spoiling as it awaited store shelves.
