Yes, I guess they would do.....

Helen
I'm , I thought you was having trouble removing your wine stoppers from your rocket fuel?

I am! But I was wondering where I would get enough empty grolsh bottles to bottle 5 gallons of wine at a time!

In the pub, they are returnable!!

I've re-used screw-top bottles loads of times, never noticed any problem. I often don't even bother to sterilize them. (the wine doesn't usually stay in them long though)

Step 1 ) Buy as many full ones as you need.
Step 2) Send 1/2 to Steve the Gas, send the other 1/2 to me.
With me so far
Step 3) Let us both know what day the Xmas party starts.
Step 4) If we manage to get as far as your house without getting waylaid. We will return the empty bottles to you.
Sorted enit!


Look at it another way
Once you have them, you will never need any more.

A better title for this post would have been

Helen Hammered on Wine
Dom

It's a corker!

You lot are so mean!

But the last laugh is on you......I am the one with almost 15 galls of assorted wine in my kitchen............

I have problems getting those plastic corks out too, but they are much easier to put in than the real cork ones. I use a coin to lever them out.

No suprise there Helen. Women do most of their wineing in the kitchen.

Whereas men do most of their whineing between the time they get up and the time they go to bed.

Ooooooooooooooooo

These boys are being evil little so-and-so's of late, aren't they?

We've done a couple of 7 day kits recently, and they have been fine in the screw top bottles. The longest they have been in there though was about 3 weeks. Hic!

You could try much longer straws...................

And..........you can only drink all that wine if you can get the bottles open!

Ha ha ha - I did think that when I was hammering the corks in. However, as I really fancied a glass or two, it really wasn't funny when I could see it but not get to it.......

When I finally opened it, I needed almost the whole bottle to soothe the trauma.
