A glass or 2 while cocking dinner, and depending what it is for dinner a splash in it, then the other 2 glasses with dinner, if any left over wine finish off as an after dinner drink. Then a nappy in the recliner.
Now if a 1500ml bottle I dont do, then it is right to the box wine size. 4 bottle size in the box.
YUP!
Well John, it tells me you are NOT a UT Mormon!!! :D
Not even.

If you go to Ruth's site and do some reading it will give you some more ideas as to what these are good for or just use google to search on bottle stoppers. Want to have some more fun search for bottle stoppers images to see how creative people are.

I'll be turning a few in the up coming days, none are intended for wine bottles....... just saying like beer isn't just for breakfast anymore think of bottle stoppers not being just for wine bottle or should that be olive oil bottle any more.

Woh Ed, I guess so, I just assumed wine, heck on my kitchen counter I have 2 different Olive Oils and 3 different vinegar bottles, I guess some nice stoppers or stoppers with a pour spout would be nice.
Narrow mind/sight makes for narrow thinking. :o

Olive oil is almost the only thing I use for cooking and everything else. I don't use stoppers. I use whiskey pouring spouts in all the bottles.

I was in Park City, UT 2 weeks b4 the Winter Olympics, what was that, 2002 or 4, for Masters Down Hill race week.
I was out for dinner, and wanted a Long Island Ice Tea, which has 5 "shots" 1 oz of different booze in it and a shot of Coke a Cola. They can only pour a total of 1 shot/oz in a drink. He said, "I have a special measuring system", he pulled it out, and showed me it, My mothers sewing thimble she puts on her finger was bigger then that!!!!
Worst was Mothers Day, 1975, on my way out to Montana for spring bear hunting, stuck in Salt Lake City airport for 4+ hours, dry as the Seiara dessert.
2002. They changed some of the laws for 2002. Long Island Iced Tea probably was not one of them. The laws here have been loosened a lot since then. It is really not that different than some other states. Booze is available in the airport now. Remember there are some states that still have dry counties. Mostly in the south east and even Texas if you can believe that.

It is really fairly normal here now. What ever normal means in this context.

Yep, John dry counties in a lot of the mid west states, when I ski in the UP of Michigan, on Sundays cant sell or serve liquor tell after 12. Kinda makes you go to church to "earn" your Bloody Mary.
So John, who is your NFL team you root for? If any in UT??

I don't really have a favorite team. Having said that I lean towards the Steelers since i lived in PA during late child hood and early adulthood. Actually I like all of the original NFL teams since those are the ones I grew up watching.
