If You Open A Bottle of Wine

[Magicpole]

You have to finish it dont you ?

Don't you !

I've just had 4 pints of Joey Holts, came home and made me and Mrs Mist a pasta salad. Making it means you have a drink, so i opened a Lebanese Red
She only drinks white.......
What ?

Any way I'm over two thirds through it so no way is it being saved.

Red Leb you say?

Obviously if you want it, you drink it. However. Sometimes you think you want the whole bottle, then two glasses in, youdont.

If you cook, or anybody reading this does and you find yourself in a situation similar to Misty's Lebanese Maschinations, do what i do.

If you have a 1/4 of a bottle left, and you just don't want to finish it, but you hate waste. Put the wine into a freezer bag and freeze, then use when you are making an Italian sauce. Bolgnaise, stew or some other recipe that red wine is an ingrediant. It is better than wasting it.

No thank's required. Not that i would expect it from you ungrateful fuckers. Where's the trust?

Easily get poisoned at chateau de Hidaho it seems:)

The Scottish lush is correct;

Once opened, red wine typically lasts for 3-5 days when properly stored. To maximize its lifespan, reseal the bottle with its cork or a wine stopper and store it in a cool, dark place, ideally the refrigerator. The higher the tannin and acidity in the red wine, the longer it will generally last after opening.

But how tight are the Scots, freezing an egg cup full of cheap plonk. :)

I steal all mine, so I don't need to keep dreggs. Plus I cook and always feel cheated using a fresh bottle. Plus, I get satisfaction knowing I am clever.

 

[Resurrection Joe...]

Yes it is.


But why would you ?
I'm not talking about Liebraumilch where you drank it and stuck a candle in the top to be 'oh so liberal'.

What was the others? Blue Nun and some German shit, Black Tower ?

yeah...I think a popular red at the time was 'Bulls Blood?

 

[snorky]

Drink cider you wet nancy

 

[Blue Mist]

Hopefully Chateau Musar?

No, Cuvèe Pierre Brun 2022
A Bekka Valley wine

Chianti flasks (fiascos) we're in the same boat in the 60s/70s but the region turned itself around brilliantly; proper good comeback story.

For just over a £1… comes with bread roll and butter (no veg), ice cream to follow.

A sauce for a steak costs 3 times that these days…

Button mushrooms were the veg!

 

[TTTCITYBHOY]

A fuckin' box!!

Do you drink your Buckfast neat as well ?

Hate Buckie mate…seriously does me nut in.

Brilliant mate,memories come flooding back.

Brilliant mate,memories come flooding back.

It looked amazingly cheap until I remembered I was only on about £6 a week in 1971, and had to give my mam £2.50 for keep.

[denislawsbackheel]

You can't beat a really great three course meal of, prawn coctail, a well done rump steak and a black forest gateaux, washed down with a quality chilled bottle of Black Tower

Ah the Berni Inn menu.
The kingsway was a posh night out.

nope.

if you have leftover wine you boil it to make brandy.
then you drink the brandy.

I had a pal that used to order a pint of wine so he didn't need to go back to the bar (not Fat Sam). Apparently wine glasses are 7 times bigger than they used be. Personally I think it's just for effect on TV progs, always someone looking rueful pouring less than half into this massive wine glass before swirling and smelling, sipping then going 'aaaah' and all their troubles are gone......bag of shite.
