If they're not food grade why are they putting milk in them?????Does anyone know if milk jugs are food grade plastic? Can they be used for storing wine?
I'm not sure about pricing. There were some comments this summer that in some areas (states?) the bottles were 3 litres and in other places (3.78 or 4 litres - not sure which). Here in Ontario, the Carlo Rossi California White & Red are in the 3 litre size (according to the LCBO web-site).CP, have they cut down on size and still charge the same price? Seems to be the way everybody is doing things lately!![]()
Ha! What a hoot(er)!Thats why I only smoke the #3's
I would never give anyone any of my wine in plastic unless it had turned to vinegar. I think a lot more of my wine then to see it in anything but glass.Plastic milk jugs are fine just not for long term storage. If im giving a gallon of wine away as a gift i generally give it away in plastic milk jugs because like bottles those glass jugs will "be lost at the lake" or "thrown away by accident". I also use plastic Coca Cola bottles if someone just wants a bottle for tasting purposes.
How well have you cleaned those milk jugs? It seems to me that they still smell a little milky when I have tried to clean one (NOT for wine).Plastic milk jugs are fine just not for long term storage.

Hey Steve isn't there a rule you can only post once per thread? How could you forget you posted on this thread six years ago?How well have you cleaned those milk jugs? It seems to me that they still smell a little milky when I have tried to clean one (NOT for wine).
If you MUST use something like this, why not get a gallon jug of water? At least you won't be fighting the milk smell/taste.
