Cobblers! you're only saying that because you've put a microwave in there so you can warm up your coffee because it gets cold when you're busy getting carried away with doing wine stuff!
Impressive array of bottles there Bob, definitely smacks of factory production though - how long'd it take ??? (and which batches are they?)

Women will never be equal to men until they can walk down the street with a bald head and a beer gut, and still think they are sexy.
Put the skrink wrap tops on the wedding favours, and polished the bottles.....
Good tip Koomber about the microfibre cloths, I reckon it took half the time, and elbow grease than it would have taken me normally
I labelled up and ribboned one of the bottles
It looks not too bad
Just another 69 bottles to go
I degassed 5 gals of Kenridge Showcase Petit Verdot/Cab Sav. Just as I pulled the Whizz Stick out for the last time, it fell out of the drill and into the Better Bottle.
After a few attempts at retrieving it, I realised the only thing that was going to work was to rack everything into another Better Bottle.
I use a telescopic racking cane, and as I lowered it into the BB, the telescopic tube fell off and joined the Whizz Stick in the wine
After racking most of the wine off, I was able to retrieve the tube (ironically, by sliding it along the Whizz Stick).
No big deal - I just had to clean and sanitise an extra BB, but it made me chuckle (afterwards).

It looks like Phil Donahue throwing up into a tuba
Not good again... but better than last time....
The strawberrys MAY have known the postcode they needed to be in , but only half turned up
Ahhh well... maybe it will be third time lucky for me on the strawberry front...
Maybe I will give it up for something else
On a more postive note...
I have dont the back labels on the wedding favours...
Just the front labels and ribbons to do now
A little racking this morning in the winery. Then bottled the squeezed or drained test gallon of Lychee. Half the gallon was drained into a half size dj, the other half was well squeezed into a half size dj. It's now bottled with a small sample of each for later.
