Any loss of wine is a sad day, but thankfully it wasn't that Estate Series!
This is my main concern about stepping up to the Estate Series and similar premium kits. You only have to make one mistake and it's hugely costly.
I've also heard of folks buying them and taking them straight to the car wash and blasting them really well to quickly get rid of most of the smell.If you get any store them outside or in the garage for a week first or you basement will smell very strong of rubber.
This is my method, too. I trust my hands way more than I'd trust one of the handles LOL!I always grab one hand on the neck and lift with th eother underneath.
These are the rubber mats I use in my cellar. I have two in front of my wine table and two in my bottle washing area. They are thick and work very well. When washing a bottle several weeks ago I dropped one and it bounced back up and hit me in the chin. I have a floor mat under my table to sit empty carboys on. These rubber mats are less than $20.00 a piece. If you get any store them outside or in the garage for a week first or you basement will smell very strong of rubber. As far as cleaning I just go over them with a mop if I spill anything on them and once in a while will lift them up to hit the floor with a mop and bucket. Plus extremely comfortable to stand on and saves the back. You can get these at Lowes or Home Depot in the flooring dept.
