I've seen a few people mention on here something that is meant to make wine taste better, costs about £5, but can't remember for the life of me what its called. Does anyone know? Got a feeling it was Ariel talking about it.

Thanks.

If it's white wine - lemonade Razz Costs a lot less than a fiver too Razz

I'm guessing it may be some kind of aerator?

As in spending a bit more to get decent wine instead of drain cleaner. Razz

Vinturi wine aerator. Costs more like £40 but it'll add £5 to any bottle of wine you buy so 8 bottles and you're "in profit" so to speak.

Give red wine and full fat Coke a go, works well with cheaper reds... 50/50 with ice. I like red wine anyway, but someone made me taste theirs and I was shocked how well it worked... Makes for a good kind of pissed too.

(Please, give it a go before hammering me for this... I wouldn't believe it either! Laughing )

Thats the one! Bugger, thought it was £5 not adding £5 xD.

Wanted it as a secret santa thing, but limited to £10, so not going to get it lol.

Thanks though Smile.

Buy some cheap nasty ol' wine (lidl have litre bottles for £4), then distill it into a nice brandy Thumbs Up

OK so it would cost about £20 (ish) to make the still

If you've got shite white wine, get down to your local health food shop and buy a bottle of elderflower cordial, add a bit to the bottle of plonk, oldest trick in the book.
It doesn't cost £40!

I'd go with a wine airator.
A friend of mine bought me one as a christmas stocking filler and it is just about the most used kitchen gadget Wasted

Seen it on amazon.co.uk - AirAuVin £10 + £4 postage (maybe available elsewhere, e.g. here only £2 postage).
