    I find that as the only wine-drinker in the house, opening a bottle is a problem as it then has to be drunk. Until, I got hold of one of these handy things: Amazon.co.uk: Products tagged with wine saver
    Now I can keep a bottle for a week or longer with no pressure to drink it to avoid waste.
    Why not get a soda stream instead? You can make yor own cheaper sparkling shiraz' or invent new stuff like sparkling chablis, or for the serious drinkers, sparkling single malt.

    plus the CO2 will keep wine fresh. Just remember normal wine bottles crack under pressure. Actully has any one tested that theory with a modifed soda stream?

    Cue dumb ass youtube video...

    And the kids get cheaper pop. They even do tonic now if you fancy a pain killer every night after work.

      Crikey. I'm one of those 'in the last month' losers. I've never really been a huge fan of the taste of alcohol. When I've had a shit: day I usually have a glass of milk.
      Practically perfect in every way....there's a time and (more importantly) a place for malarkey.

        Which is amazing since you'd give Marc Almond a run for his money.

          Just now. A rather nice 12 year old cask strength Edradour.

            I always wanted to try creating sparkling spirits but never could justify buying a soda stream just to muck about.

            Since I drink red, keeping wine fresh by fizzing it seems a poor alternative

              You can get sparkling reds. Surprisingly, they're quite nice.

                I'd rather have still wine anyway though, fizzy drinks make me feel bloaty
