I've just
corked a bottle of wine
:'(
My beatiful, pink nectar has been (potentially) ruined.
Will little bits of cork do me any damage?
I think i've got rid of most of it

what in HELL are you doing drinking at 17?
or not drinking
as the case may be
i want pink wine : (
damn detox
i's go for it
but shirley if the cork broke in half
and parts of it ended up in the wine, shouldn't that be classed as corking too?
Iopenedthebottleofwinereallybadlyandnowthereiscorkinmywineing isn't as catchy
The drinking age for beer and wine should be 16
spirits 18.
Its a lie that your wine will be ruined, but do expect a little rubberiness.
But our whole culture here in the UK is to drink irresponsibly
Keep it at 18, that's what I say. It's different in other countries, as the kids are raised without alcohol being 'taboo' and so it's not a big deal for them to go out and get smashed
it's only "taboo"
due to the drinking age. the culture is caused by it being 18.
Exactly
You can cite our relatively high drinking age as a reason why people treat alcohol so irresponsibly, but the fact is that they do. To lower the drinking age would be to welcome a lot more kids into the murky world of stomach pumping
If underage kids want to drink, they will. No need to change it
Have you seen the club culture in berlin?
where thats basically the law?
The thing is, when you get hold of booze underage, you dont know when youll get it again, so you neck it. This develops a nasty early pattern in many.
i've seen plenty of kids in france
drink ridiculously irresponsibly.
is it real cork?
i haven't drunk a bottle or wine with real cork for ages.
yep
real cork.
Wouldn't have happened with plastic :(
I should just buy lambrini. Screw top (Y)
A sommelier once told me
that cork tops are best as it lets in a certain amount of oxygen to let the wine 'breathe', where as screw tops/plastic ones don't.
I think that's the only thing i know about wine
just drink it.
well done
they're not using proper corks as much these days, so they're having to cut down a lot of cork trees to get rid of the surplus. I have therefore taken it upon myself to drink as much wine with proper corks as possible.
im saving the planet in my own subtle way :D
*raises glass*
Its wednesday night
holidays, innit
no
yeah
One of these days
I swear im gonna say "i'll penetrate YOUR orifice".
Though I dont think people would "get" it.
