Hi guys,
Last year I made various jams/jellies and gave them out to family and colleagues for presents. Because I was giving out so many I used small jars - to make it go around. Unfortunately the only ones people saved for me were the large ones so i had to go Morrisons and buy 200g fish paste jars (and THOROUGHLY clean :grin: ) ..this wasnt as cheap as I'd hoped
So this year I'm giving the same people wine.. and I have the same problem. I dont want to be giving out full bottles because:
a) I'll have drank most
b) I want to condition some
c) I've not (yet) made enough
My question is, where can I get 'smaller than normal' wine bottles for cheap / free? I'm going to ask local restaurants etc but just wanted to pitch the question here.
Sods law dictates my village wine bar gets paid to recycle their bottles - so arent interested in giving them away :/
The alternative is to go and buy multipacks of small water bottles, but this isnt as asthetically pleasing
As always thanks
Callum

and being a desert wine I can't imagine drinking a full bottle in one session.
