Mjolnir Posted January 28, 2018 Author Report Posted January 28, 2018 (edited) My newest repurpose is for Lucky Buddha beer bottles. It tastes like Heineken so, eh, I can drink it, but I can also drain it. It is in a green bottle shaped like a Buddha. I've found them locally. These bottles are selling on ebay for more than a six pack!

alpha2 Posted January 28, 2018 Report Posted January 28, 2018 A local restaurant uses Buddha bottles for soy sauce. Never seen them with actual beer in them. Quote So much leather...so little time.
Mjolnir Posted March 5, 2018 Author Report Posted March 5, 2018 Remember those wooden barrels that had a cork in the side? As a kid I found it amusing what the hole was called and also the tool used to make it. Anybody know? PS did anyone 'google'... elgoog? always liked that one.

alpha2 Posted March 6, 2018 Report Posted March 6, 2018 garypl for the win! Of course, anybody that has eve visited a winery would know that. And anybody that has visited, um, many wineries...would of course, know. Just sayin'. And, yep, I had to google elgoog. I'll never get that time back. At my age, that means something.

It's a bung hole, and I hate to say it but the tool is a reamer. so why is there a curved bottom on wine bottles?

Contributing Member fredk Posted March 6, 2018 Contributing Member Report Posted March 6, 2018 The concave bottom is to counter the pressure of the fermentation gases within the bottle Quote Al speling misteaks aer all mi own werk..
alpha2 Posted March 6, 2018 Report Posted March 6, 2018 (edited) It's actually a place for me to rest my thumb while I pour. Little known fact. So little known, in fact, that I may be the only person that knows it. It's very hush-hush. fredk was very, very close, though. Edited March 6, 2018 by alpha2 Quote So much leather...so little time.

Just like I know from experience that LeAnn Rimes wears tiny shoes that her finger toes hang out of. I did not know that, but I'm intrigued. We'll let it go at that... God, I love this thread.
