Don’t forget to stock spare top up bottles so that the decanters are never empty..

Have selected the wines for a birthday lunch tomorrow. Including a salamander of champers. Should be fun.

That is quite the lunch! How do you chill the large format Ewan? I normally use a bathtub and plenty of ice cubes.

I have a large zinc water trough, half filled with water and ice. The type used on the farm for the cows to drink from. Easily holds all the wines, beers, spirits, mixers and soft drinks needed for a party. Inexpensive and looks okay even indoors being clean zinc. (You can them from an agricultural suppliers in various sizes.)

Are they really a 9 liter bottle of Champagne ?
Coming from Somerset I've never seen one until on here.
Quite a Party then Ewan

Excellent tip, thanks!

We do the less posh version for our BBQs. big plastic containers full of water and ice, one for beers, ciders and one for soft drinks. We don't use for wine as the labels tend to come off.

Good morning everyone, usual Sunday stuff followed by the first home game of the season.

Yeah, but the port won't keep all that well. Had to be done.

We used to have a couple of trugs for exactly that.

What a difference a day makes! Just finished sweating my ******** off changing leaf spring bushes on the Mercury. Now in shorts and flip flops. Feeling guilty as the Mrs has gone to the gym, guess I’ll have to walk to the alcohol fridge to get my step count up!

Lambs spiced rum, crushed lime segments, dash of bitters and topped off with soda and ice. the Lambs spiced rum is nice but very heavy on vanilla so left a pierced birds eye chilli and cinnamon stick in bottle for a few of nights to balance it out a bit more..........longest 3 nights of my life lol
