Advantages: Keeps for ages, Loads of fun with silver bag

Disadvantages: Words start to slur after a while

I have got to the stage in my life where going into town for a drink is no longer a pleasure.

What is the point of getting all dressed up for an evening on the town, to have to crush into crowded pubs, spend half an hour queuing to get a drink, getting drinks spilled down your back and your outfit ruined by fag burns. Not to mention keeping out the way of flying ashtrays and tables when fights break out, and avoiding all the under age drinkers who seem to have far less sense than we did when we were under age drinkers.

By the time you have been round town, gone to a club, got a bit of something to eat and a taxi home that’s £50 easily spent.

I have just turned 35 and maybe I am having a mid-life crisis or something, but I would rather stay in with a box of wine and a few friends than face a night on the town.

A box of wine can cost as little as £3.99 for a 3 litre box so it makes for a cheap night in. A 3 litre box is the equivalent of 4 bottles of wine.
Because of the silver bag that the wine is in, it will keep in the fridge for up to 6 weeks after opening.

The silver bag is an amazing piece of equipment once it is empty, especially when you have drunk the whole box of wine. The more drunk you become, the more uses you find for the silver bag.

Here are our top ten uses for an empty silver wine bag. (Thought up between four people and two boxes of wine.)

1. Blow it up and it makes a very trendy silver pillow.
2. Blow it up and it makes a good bath pillow.
3. Use instead of a paper bag if someone is hyperventilating.
4. Fill with Helium, stick a transfer of Mickey Mouse on it, add some string and sell on the market for £3.
5. Blow it up and use it as a ring pillow for a wedding.
6. Take one with you on a boat. If the boat sinks you could blow it up and use it as an emergency float.
7. Fill with warm water and use as a hot water bottle.
8. Blow it up and use as party
balloons.
9. Use as a DIY mouth to mouth resuscitation kit.
10. (this one is a little sick and we were very drunk when we thought of it) Add a straw and use it as a DIY colonic irrigation kit. Yuck.

I am sure you could probably think up some far better uses and I would also like to say that none of these ideas have been tried and tested. Don’t try to sue me if you try DIY colonic irrigation and it doesn’t work. LOL.

Anyway, back to the wine. Good value for money, easy to use box (no hunting for a corkscrew), keeps well in the fridge for up to six weeks (not that I have ever managed to leave any for that long).
Definitely a good buy.
