Wine Bottle With No Screw Top

[Caribeing]

I bought some wine today, couldn’t get it opened, took away all the wrapping away at the top and there was no screw top, had a taste and was unsure if it was ok to drink.

[LadyCG]

Have you googled the wine to see whether it's one of these new fangled bottle types?

I had one recently from Aldi that was neither Cork nor screw-top. I couldn't get into the damp thing and was going to take it back, but I'm glad I googled it first.

‘Most wines are screw tops’ mmm.....depends where you buy your wine from.

No cork and no screw top? No top at all? Why would you even consider drinking it?

[Atheist]

One last possibility - some cheap bottles had a plastic stopper; not a long thing like a cork, just a short plug about 5mm long, with a flange to enable it to be pulled off the bottle, and probably covered with a foil wrap. Just possible that this came off when the foil was removed. Have you still got the foil?

I wouldn't trust any container that didn't have a proper seal or a damaged seal.

I think Lady JG pre-empted me; I didn't notice her post before mine.

Lady CG - Sorry, Lady...

It would be nice if LadyCG gave us a link to the aldi bottle.

[royfromaus]

I'd go and look at the other bottles in the supermarket first, just in case it is what Lady CG says

//...some cheap bottles...//

LadyCG is not known for buying cheap bottles. :)

[barry1010]

pasta, ladycg buys her wine from Aldi :D

[pastafreak]

I know...but Aldi wine is not necessarily "cheap"...which implies plonk.
;)

[Atheist]

Well, if we knew what wine it was we might get some ideas. Carib... can you tell us?
LadyCG might have taken recently to buying plonk from Aldi; obviously she wouldn't have known how to open a bottle sans bouchon a liege.

We see more 'Ladies' shopping in Aldi and Lidls around here than we see in Morrisons or Tesco. The landed gentry like bargains!!

[barry1010]

Atheist, why use so many letters when 'cork' is so easy to type and spell?

[barry1010]

Apc, the landed gentry round here have staff to do their shopping

[Atheist]

Barry, simply trying to convey an image of Lady's poshness.

[barry1010]

Oh.

[Apc2604]

Barry, not around here. They mix with the serfs and villains!!! And they are the comes who jump the queue and do the biggest shops!!!

[barry1010]

Well of course they do the biggest shops - all the staff to feed, the entertaining, the garden parties, the lunches..... :D
