When does personal responsibility become a factor?
I used to work at a place where someone painted a bench in the smoking shelter with a highly flammable paint. A guy sat down and sparked up. The bench went up and he suffered bad burns. It wasn't his fault and he was compensated.

Now if the guy who was actually painting the bench sat down and sparked up I would have told him he was a twat.

Hello I have a wine question.
#HOMEBREW CHAT
Do you ever store your wine in screw tops? If so can you reuse the lids, or can you just cork the wine even though it's a screw top

Screw caps are better because your wine doesn't go off.

(Bazongaloid, Wed 20 Feb 2013, 12:53, Reply)

But can you reuse the caps from ones you buy???

(PsychoChomp, Wed 20 Feb 2013, 12:54, Reply)

Probably
I reckon as along you steralise them properly you should be alright.
(Bazongaloid, Wed 20 Feb 2013, 12:54, Reply)

Depends if the seal is still airtight I'm thinking.
And if the steraliser causes the caps to corrode.

Should be fine

People drink enough wine to supply you with new wine bottles and caps if yours get old and you're not sure they're up to the job anymore.
assuming you know people

I'm sure Stunned throws out enough empty port bottles in a week to take your entire output

Yeah I picked up some wilkos stuff £5 a kit
I wouldn't pay £20 for it though, not really worth it with the quality of the wine you get out of it.
Though I've had more luck with the white than the red.
Great for starting out though cause you get kit and it's pretty easy, but I think I'd be put off by the quality if it was my first time.
I'm going to go foraging this year (and steal fruit from the in-laws allotment) and make stuff for free :)

The wine kit is a bonus to be honest.
I want the demijohn, and spares. I make a lot of beer, but all the equipment is too large to do wine. Well unless I do 30 bottle kits and I've not got much space to store all that.

Makes great gifts though.... then you get the joy of homebrewing as well as the joy of not having to store the stuff

( MONO!, Wed 20 Feb 2013, 13:33, Reply)

And the joy of not paying for gifts

Can you call your label "Chateaux on the kitchen table" ?

I saw a wine called "Chat en oeuf"

( MONO!, Wed 20 Feb 2013, 14:17, Reply)

All the time.
Yes
( MONO!, Wed 20 Feb 2013, 13:02, Reply)

I agree but vicarious liability comes into play

Last time I saw your mum, my vicarious liability came into play. If you know what I mean.
