WTF is this in my wine?

iggy

Ok I was drinking a nice bottle of wine and I'm on my last glass when I look into my glass and see this



I nearly puked as I thought it was a worm or something.
That's me done with wine- back to cheapie beer from now.
I inspected the foreign object and it's like loads of little crystals.
Never saw anything like this in a bottle of wine.

Oh yeah The missus was beside me when I saw it, I shouted there's a f uckin worm in my wine- she then puked :-)

Here's the bottle of the piss I drank
Off to bed now

Its probably just a lump of pesticide that wasn't filtered out, relax, its not like tequila.

It looks like tiny poop.

It's sediment, perfectly normal, you'll get it with older wines. Next time try decanting the wine and this won't happen.

its AIDS in crystal form

Sindri:So I said I must get out of these wet clothes and into a dry Martini!

*laugher*

stupidusername:Well said.

iggy:Oh! Good Lord, there's a fly in my drink!

Sindri:I put it there.

iggy:You did?

Sindri:I slipped it into your glass as a gag.

iggy:Pure hilarious!

stupidusername:Pure Sindri!

Later 12:I pronounce it to be the most whimsical jape of the season.

*jolly laughter and clapping*

My name is URL

It looks like what comes out of me after I've drank a bottle of red wine

Yeah theyre just naturally forming crystals. Theyre actually a sign of good quality wine.

Local-womanizer

Its the skin of the grape afaik. You won't die thankfully.

Sediment but after a full bottle of wine I usually see worse.

To me all wine tastes like sediment or muck.
The only drink people talk bollox before they drank to much of it.

But I like it on my chips.

My whole knowledge of wine can be summed up by

Red with meat
white with fish
Drink enough
And it gets you pissed.

Neadine

Looks like something pooped in there :eek::eek:

Check the used by date, or if its those dodgy bottles that have been in the news lately without used by dates, bring them back to where you bought them and complain.

kmart6

Merlot, Cabernet and Malbec all in one...certainly covering all bases anyway!

danniemcq

You big eejit OP.

Drinking wine is bad enough, then he's putting up pictures of it on a saddo forum...someone has a lot of manning up to do.

I tried to get a taste for wine, its better then beer in terms of calories and in general its meant to be better for you, well so say the wine merchants. But every time I taste it, it still tastes like wine and that is the problem.

I actually heard someone say to his wife at a house party type thing,,"Nah I am not in the humour of drinking I will just have the wine" and this attitude to wine is costing the NHS in Britain serious problems. You have middle class couples in Britain sharing a bottle or 2 of wine every night and then eventually turning up at hospitals to be told they have cirrhosis and being shocked as they never believed they were drinking alcoholically, they were just having a few glasses of wine.

Although the doco I seen was about Britain I have to assume it is the same here for a lot of the middle classes.

Maybe its better I don't get a taste for it.

You're not trying hard enough.

I know the attitude you mean though, that people seem to think wine is not alcoholic. Eh, like there's a higher percentage of booze in it than beer? I think that was Georgie Best's excuse actually after he ruined the new liver - he didn't realise wine counted as alcohol. Doh..

Sky King

OP! It's sediment you peon. Fancy not recognising sediment in a bottle of wine!

Back to the gutter with you, you degenerate meth drinking pleb.

Because they reckon winos are drinking it for the social status?

Frank Black

Stop wining OP - it's only a bit of sediment

It's this kinda crap that puts people off wine - no matter what anyone tells you a "good" bottle of any drink shouldn't have lumps of stuff in it! The obvious exception to this rule being the 1985 chateau club l'orange.:)

These people are collectively known as idiots, they're not much of a loss really.
My girlfriends friend drinks one or 2 bottles of red wine every night, she can't sleep without it, but completely dismisses the suggestion she might have a drink problem - cos it's only wine!!:rolleyes:

I know someone who says the same, "its just a bottle of wine while I am winding down in the evening" but lately she is looking the worse for wear.

I don't know how the marketing witches ever got that message across, a glass of wine is a natural and pure, traditional product refined from the grape and served in a beautiful lead crystal glass with numerous health benefits.

When I drink at home I am drinking from a can with Heineken written all over it, I know I am drinking and it is not good to do it to much. A glass of wine is promoted along the vein of a nice cup of tea.

You have to take your hat off to them, marketing is true witchcraft.

sheesh

they look like grape vine

its the dirt between a french winemaker's toes after squishing the grapes with his bare feet.

Fair dues to the Kiwis if they import authentic artisan stompers to get the best out of that unholy allegiance of grapes.

The man o war is not a bad little vineyard at all.

I'm not a wine conneisseur (sp) at all, I have however had the opportunity to try some of the best wines in the worls at work and various wine tastings etc. I just have no huge passion for it, and I prefer a big cold beer I can guzzle on.

I can picture the op as some young lad from Darndale trying a wine all curious like, then retching over the 'worm'

Always decant a good red wine, and some say let it breath for a couple of hours, though a really old wine can spoil if left to breath.....

BluesBerry

Its only shrapnel the bottle picked up fighting - that's a right hard basstard wine you drank

I know posting a serious reply doesn't get any respect here but anyways

It happened before.
Mrs May Donoghue from Scotland found something nasty in her drink way back in 1932.

She sued and won. Landmark case.
Ended up with a law change for all of us. People haven't stopped suing each other since.
