equipment:

2 bottle cote rotie, any vintage
1/4 or 3/8 I.D. plastic hose
shop vac with 1 1/4 hose


Directions:

1. drink one bottle of the wine. When reasonably sober, insert the tube into the dipstick tube
2. turn shop vac on
3. insert other end of tube into empty wine bottle (this won't work with a plastic bottle)
4. With thumb and forefinger, make a seal around bottle opening and apply shop vac to top of thumb/forefinger.
5. watch oil level in bottle.
6. remove, wipe everything off, wash hands, drink other bottle

I like this procedure so much I might intentionally over fill from now on!

Nice.

Very important to do step 6 properly, and drink from the correct bottle.

Does it work better with white wine or red?

i'll have a glass of the ten-thirty chardonnay please.

I guess I left out the important details.

It was a 2000 Guigal Brune et Blonde Côte Rotie (red, of course). YMMV

The role of the second bottle is to celebrate success and dispel the oil smell in the nostrils.

BTW a plastic bottle won't work because the reduced pressure collapses the bottle.

Is that anything like FreightTrain Red in the green bottle with the screw cap you can get over on B/side...

I tried this with 2 bottles of Louis LaTour Corton Charlamagne, but I drank both bottles, and didn't give a sh_t that there was too much oil!!!!!

a six pack would work just the same except you would have a harder time remembering what bottles to drink out of.

Does a bottle of Tito's Hand made Vodka work just as well?

Please send all prospective bottles (with original contents) to me for testing and verification. I will issue a report on the results.
