The plonk that has been recalled is Kirkland’s Signature Prosecco Valdobbiadene, which was sold at warehouses between April 25 and August 26.
It could be bought across 13 states, including Iowa, Minnesota, Nebraska, Ohio, South Dakota and Wisconsin.
Shoppers were told about the recall on September 12 and they have been warned not to open the alcohol.
Costco has warned customers that the bottles could shatter even if they’re unopened.
They should wrap it in paper towels before putting it in a plastic bag, according to a letter sent out to its members.
Then, the bag should be put inside a garbage can.
This is to reduce the risk of shoppers being injured by broken glass shards.
Shoppers have been urged not to return the product to their local warehouse.
The wholesaler recommends shoppers to take the letter to their local store so they can get their money back.

How to handle product recall
FOOD Safety experts insist that shoppers shouldn’t panic if they’re affected by a recall, as many are harmless.
However, consumers should take each warning seriously and follow the necessary steps to protect themselves.
Oftentimes, food manufacturers issue recalls as a precautionary measure, so there likely isn’t a foodborne illness hiding in your pantry.
However, even if the recall is merely a precaution, shoppers should always stay safe and not consume the affected items.
Experts advise people to keep a product closed if it hasn’t been opened, and never feed it to a pet or donate it to food banks.
Anyone who has handled or opened an affected item should wash their hands thoroughly with warm water and soap for 20 seconds.
Read the recall closely for specific instructions on how to get rid of the food item.
Typically, the brand will ask consumers to return the recalled product to the store where they purchased it for a full refund.
Sometimes shoppers will also be asked to throw it away so that no one else can eat it.
