In the supermarket yesterday arguing with Mrs. P. about wine purchases. She likes good red wine but will only drink a mouthful due to alcohol intolerance. So buying a bottle of her favourite seems a raw deal, seeing as she gets to drink 10% of it while unnamed others get to glug the rest. Even if it
is stashed away with a vacuum stopper and she has as much as she can take every evening she will be about 1/5 of the way down the bottle after a week.
So I propose that good wine be available in capsule form. A single strip will contain perhaps 10 shots of good wine, sealed in little plasticky capsules. Snap off the top and pour into your glass; put the rest back away in the cupboard.
you could also secrete a capsule or two in your pocket for use in emergencies.

This suit you? [theleopard, Jul 18 2011]
Hmm... seems to be a recurring theme.

She should freeze a bottle of wine in ice-cube trays and just thaw out one cube every night. Your idea could be implemented as a sort of alcoholic bubblewrap. |
|
| |
Alcoholic bubblewrap... sounds dangerously fun! |
|
| |
Also good for communion perhaps. |

You can buy cans containing a glass-worth of wine -
why is this not a solution? |
|
| |
(Actually, it *is* a solution, although some reds will
also contain a suspension.) |
|
| |
This gives rise to a thought in my head of "wine
droplets". Little vials of wine so you can taste the
wine, but not get snookered doing it. |

Mrs. P. does not want 18.5cl, she wants more like 2cl. Also the quarter-bottles and cans don't fit the vacuum stoppers. [blissmiss] you are nearer the mark. Also I remember... <link> |

It's very difficult to encapsulate alcohol. Turns out
it eventually dissolves just about anything that
makes for a biocompatible capsule. You
have to put various amounts of dextrin, sodium
laurel sulfate, and other strange chemicals in the
mix in order to stabilize the formulation. Point is
that it probably won't taste like wine in the end.
Then again, wine already has sulfites and sugars
loaded into it soooo.. What do I know. |

What anybody else said about drinking a full glass
at a time. And bubblewrap. And avoid putting the
wine pills next to the sleeping pills. Great for
driving! |

I find that wine already comes in convenient sized glasses. |

We find that wine already comes in convenient sized rail tankers. |
