what's a wine stopper for? Grin

What is this thing you call a 'wine stopper'? Surely getting to the bottom of the bottle stops the wine coming out?HmmGrin

I've gone with your method, doogle, and you're right, there is now no more wine coming out of the bottle.

Arghhhh - there's no more wine coming out of my bottle!

This thread is confusing me.

Bimble Tis early, half term and shops still open.. Go my child and purchase...

FBmum · 20/02/2013 21:06

Remember - drink responsibly. It is your responsibility to open another bottle at once.

SecretNutellaFix · 20/02/2013 21:06

or buy screw caps

Well of course it's a sign. Wine is not meant to be 'saved' for another day. For goodness sake, surely everyone knows this.

The only time you should stop up wine is if it's the really cheap drain cleaner type that's been left after a party but hey, it wouldn't be half bad in a stew.

Tis 2109 - go to the local shop and purchase a screw cap Grin

Funnily enough a friend just posted a pic on my wall on fb which said 'The other day someone told me I could make icecubes with leftover wine. I was confused... what is leftover wine?' Grin

Plus those damn Hairy Bikers have been going on about using leftover chocolate tonight. This also perplexes me.

DrinkFeckArseGirls · 20/02/2013 21:12

Those metal ones Shock?!

thebody · 20/02/2013 21:13

YouTheCat very funny post.

Cailinsalach · 20/02/2013 21:13

Yup, just checked my watch and it's definitely wine o'clock.

cocoachannel · 20/02/2013 21:17

Wine stopper? That's almost as silly as that Nigella (or Delia? Nah unlikely to be Delia) thing about freezing leftover wine in ice cube trays for cooking. Pah!

YouTheCat · 20/02/2013 21:18

I wish... I'm starting at 7.45am in the out of hours school club tomorrow and I'll be there until 6pm.

I'm in a really drinky mood too.

Oh poo, that's a shame you, shall I save your wine 'til tomorrow? You'll probably need it after 10+ hours of kids tomorrow...

It's okay thanks, Bimblepops. I'm back there on Friday as well. I do have supplies in for Friday though. Wink
