Disgusting…

But I dig the soda stream idea for wine. I once tried to refizz beer and it exploded.

That is not recycling – that’s a bio health hazard. Thank-you for sharing this (I think). Next time I go to a restaurant I will watch extra carefully to see that foil is intact…..

I can go into detail about why the sieve, but let’s just say that ANY leftover wine was recycled. At a rate that Greenpeace would be proud of.

What did he need the sieve for?????? You surely are not saying he was reclaiming wine from *eyetwitch* glasses of wine patrons didn’t finish???????????????

I always suspected that the various obnoxiously priced drinks were a con. Once worked in a restaurant where the owner used to re-bottle leftover wine – no-one ever caught on, even when he was charging ridiculous amounts for the bottle. I think that the sieve, the funnel and the decanter were his best friends. By the way, not defending this, it’s actually disgusting in so many ways, but just saying, people pay bucketloads when it can’t possibly make any difference to them….
