Demijohn bargain!

Just picked up 12 glass demijohns (9 clear, 3 brown) off ebay for £14! really pleased with that price! picking them up tomorrow, can't wait to get some wine bubbling away soon!

Nice score, Michael---I think.

I can imagine that you are pleased with that price! For those of you in Rio Linda, that is like $22 US. What size are they (not that it matters!) and are the old style, i.e. wicker wrapped?

 

[Wade E]

Yep, show us some pics of the score.

they are the normal 1 gallon jars. just plain glass with the little ears for handles at the neck.

I'm chuffed with the price because over here a single pair of glass DJs can cost as much as £18! which in equates to $28. how much would you expect to pay of the equivalent in the states? for second hand and brand new?

will get some pics uploaded tomorrow when i collect my haul! just need to figure out where to store them in my tiny student flat haha! I do all my winemaking at home, back in Northern Ireland and I'm currently studying in scotland you see!

ok guys as promised here are some pics of my steal from ebay! they need a good clean out but I'm happy enough to do that myself!

And a pair of runners to 'boot'

Well done Michael.

I got a similar deal at a wine store in my area... $1.50 each for the same glass jugs, when she has the used ones available.

I am so chuffed for you! I just love those sayings from over the pond. We don't have anything that cool here unless you count "hey man". Just not the same.
