What to do with any dud wines opened over Xmas
Posted: Fri Dec 23, 2011 9:56 am
Well, it's not long now until the fat man in the red suit indulges in some wholesale break and enter across the globe and there will no doubt be many bottles of wine of varying age, upbringing and personality opened in celebration.
Just a reminder that if anything opened is not up to expectation, try and remember not to tip it down the sink in disgust and hurl the bottle in the direction of the recycle bin along with the plastic toys that broke in the first 5 minutes and enough wrapping paper to keep a kindergarten busy in the craft area for six months.
Quietly jam the cork back in the bottle or screw it up and put it to one side with the contents intact where it won't be found by a slightly untidy relative at midnight looking for something to make them even untidier. Call the producer when you've all sobered up and the Mylanta has taken effect and I'm positive they'll be delighted to resolve it for you.
Many thanks to Gavin for his hospitality over the year(s), I hope you all enjoy a safe and rewarding festive season and remember that anyone who doesn't crack some Fizzy Red Stuff on Sunday is being very un-Australian.

. Now the trick will be getting them to survive not being opened until Christmas
