I think someone drank my vinegar

I needed to decant it into something smaller than the gallon container it came in so temporarily decanted it into a Lambrini bottle. When I came to use some today it seemed to have gone down a lot further than I remembered. That must have come as a shock :D

    well i guess you wouldn't notice much difference in taste between lambrini and vinegar! i guess what it does to your stomach will be roughly the same as well! :beer:

    It points up the lesson though that if you put something other than the normal product in a bottle or container you should re-label it very clearly.

    This was a humourous episode :) But supposing it had been paint thinners or weed killer. There's no one here but me and I still make sure I label stuff so I don't absentmindely pick up the wrong thing.

    Believe me Squeaky, even I'm not daft enough to decant anything harmful into a wine bottle!

    And the daftest thing is that everyone was out in the kitchen when I did it and I warned them all what I was doing!!

    LOL :)

    I'm sure you're not that daft, and I hope that nobody on here would be. But it has been known to happen so I thought I'd say a word on safety. :)

    It sounds like somebody could have absent mindedly poured themselves a glass of wine, taken a sip, realised it was vinegar_pale_ :eek:and was toooooo ashamed/frightened to tell you :doh: and quickly threw it away :shhh: ...... thinking you woud never notice the difference in levels :whistle:....I hope they at least sent the rest of the vinegar down the sink to give it good quick clean :rotfl:
