Have you tried rebottling the remainder in a smaller bottle, such as a
half bottle? Then there's the collapsible bottles favoured by some,
and the vacuum pumps favoured by others. The general idea is to reduce
the wine's access to oxygen. All popular with solitary and
parsimonious Scottish wine drinkers :-)

We do not drink anything with alcohol in it. However, once in a great
while we fix a recipe that calls for wine in the marinade or in the
cooking. Either way the alcohol is cooked out of it. We have two or
three part bottles of different kinds of wine that have been in our
cupboard for months or even years and they work just as well as they
did the day each one was opened. So what is the fuss about using a
bottle up within a short time?

SUPPORT OUR TROOPS.
END THE WAR NOW.
BRING THEM HOME.

Americans killed in the occupation of Iraq as of September 25, 2007 is 3,801.
United Kingdom = 170 Other = 130.

How many more Americans must die to satisfy Bush's ego?
Let us all pray for Bush - God knows he needs it!

As of September 27, 2007 it has been 1611 days since Bush
while standing in front of the banner which was sent
to the ship by the White House saying MISSION ACCOMPLISHED
declared,"In the Battle of Iraq, the United States and our
allies have prevailed." IOW MISSION ACCOMPLISHED.

Isn't Bush's "surge" of troops working well?
Pay attention to the frequency of American deaths since it began.
