Where can I find miniature liquor bottles in north india?
I love miniature liquor bottles and have been collecting these for some time now. Earlier there were very few options in north India for buying such bottles. These are usually available in better liquor and wine shops (as compared to ubiquitous Indian liquor shops). Unfortunately these shops have miniatures of runnung major brands only. Now there are few better liquor shops in malls in NCR area, where you can try your luck. Generally shops in metro cities and some tourists places (Delhi, Gurugram, Bangalore, Mumbai, Goa for instance) will have some inventory of interest. Another option is international airports' duty free shops, where many times nice collectibles are available. As you can notice by now, travelling is going to help a lot for a serious collection. I'm aware about a mall in Delhi in Ashok Nagar near metro station adjacent to Noida border that has many liquor shops with good inventory. You can also check here for miniatures. I'm yet to explore this mall.Since I've been travelling a lot in India and outside, I made it a point to visit nearby liquor shops to explore miniature liquor bottles. I can tell from my experience that travelling and consistently exploring liquor shops over a period of time is a good way of building your miniature collection.These miniature bottles are beautiful photography objects (one more reason why I keep collecting these), and here are few shots:Cheers!

How can corks from wine bottles be recycled?
Reuse as what?There is one answer for using them as “art projects.” That is a great idea.Now as a wine maker I have heard the question asked many times. “Can I reuse corks?” What they mean is can they reuse corks to put them back into a bottle of wine as they are bottling wine.The answer is: “Of course, you can reuse corks, but do you really want to?”I would never reuse a cork to bottle wine where have paid “big bucks” for the grapes and put in hours of labor to make a good wine. The risk is too high.However, I do keep a jar of used corks available for a specific purpose. The cork can’t be previously removed with a conventional cork screw. That punches a hole down the middle that doesn’t close up. If reused, it will leak. Remove them with the two pronged tool, which I call an “Ah-So.”https://www.amazon.com/s/?ie=UTF...Soak the corks in hot water for an hour or so to clean them up and let them dry.Where would I use these corks? If I’m bottling some wine and I plan to use a bottle or two, take a bottle of two to a party in the next couple of days and I know I’m going to put the cork in it and take it out with a day or so, then I go to my used cork jar and bottle that bottle with a used cork.
How many cat shaped wine bottle colours are there?
Hi there, I have no idea how many bottles or what colour are out there but I currently have 17 bottles so I thought that if I shared what colours I have, and you make a list of what YOU have then maybe we can figure out what is missing! I've been trying for years to find a list of what colours are out there. I knew I was missing about five colours...now I know I'm missing at least 8...wow! My list: gold and silver - metallic black and white - frost with bows light pink, yellow and green - clear very dark green - clear purple - metallic cobalt blue - clear cobalt blue - metallic clear red - clear lime green - metallic red and green - frost darker purple - metallic (it seems a bit darker than the purple I have listed above though I am not 100% sure they ARE different) Colours I know for sure that I am missing include the milky white, fushia metallic, grey metallic, orange frost.
What do you do with your empty whiskey glass bottles, other than throwing them away?
I recycle most of them, although this has gotten more complicated recently as my county recycling service has stopped taking glass, so I have to haul the glass to a different recycling service.I have kept a few nice looking bottles and re-used them for other purposes, like experimenting with fruit and alcohol. I put sliced apples in one bottle and topped it up with cheap whiskey, then let it sit a few weeks to make apple whiskey that goes over really well with guests. I advise straining out the apple bits so they don’t end up in someone’s glass. You can do this with pretty much any fruit and alcohol you think will go well together. The extra bottle is important because the fruit takes up space.

What's the strongest liquor you've ever drunk and how does it feel?
Ugh. I had Spirytus (Grain Neutral Spirits) once- undiluted.That's right, it's a whopping 96%. It's nothing but pure, distilled spirit. It's a Polish vodka, I believe, and used for cooking and medicinal purposes. It was my 24th birthday. I have never been much of a drinker, but I do have an extremely high threshold for alcohol. Now, bear in mind that I had never tried something like this before. Being the lunatics that we were,my friends and I had one shot each, off the cap of the bottle (that's about one-eighth the size of a regular shot, as you can see from the image). It tasted like liquid fire. I kid you not. I felt like my whole throat was burning up and my stomach was on fire, for about six full minutes.The "drink" seemingly didn't affect me as much as it did others around me. I quickly referred to my best friend, Google, and realized that this spirit had a dark past. It's illegal in many countries, and people have died trying to do shots. I do believe it's also illegal in some states in the US (New York was fine). A couple of my friends were so amazed at this discovery, they got the word out, and soon, there were close to 60 people in my apartment, going gaga over a bottle of spirit. I think the bottle is still on a shelf in my old apartment. That's 30 bucks nobody has managed to consume fully.No one died that day, but it's safe to say that I will never, ever, ever, ever, EVER try it undiluted again.
