Since being in this hobby for a number of years, I started remembering why I didn't have alot of friends growing up and I got bullied alot. I am stingy, especially with something I have worked hard to get.

I have to agree with you there. I am quite selective of who I give my winner wines to. In fact, I give them only to people who give me something not only in return, but in advance (bottles, etc). I also have a "Wein-Schwein" (wine-pig in German - wine piggy bank in english. Wein Schwein just sounds better). Most people are smart enough to contribute. For adollar even, they get2 whole bottles of wine.Edited by: MedPretzel

Wow! That is some cheap wine! You are way more generous than I.

[MedPretzel]

Well, like I said, I'm very selective of who I give my winners to. I have given a lot of "cooking wine" away in the past.











They still seem to be thrilled.

I have some Rotgut anyone can have if they come get it.

[MedPretzel]

how old is it and how rot-gutty is it?

[Hippie]

It is very rot-gutty and has been in the bottle close to a month after bulk aging over a year. NASTY. I might try a bottle in 5 years.Do NOTuse too many dark raisins in any wine! Edited by: Country Wine

Could you use it as a marinade?

[Hippie]

I am afraid it would ruin anything and everything soaked in it. I only bottled it because I tell everyone else to bottle whatever they make and it will get better. I have my doubts about this one. I think it might work well for polishing silver or stainless steel or chrome. Actually, it might be too harsh for chrome.

I just changed my avitar to a maple leaf, that is a sugar maple also known as a rock maple, fitting for an elf such as myself.
