A quick drip tip

Here is a quick tip for avoiding that wine runs down the bottle and leave stains on your table when you pour straight from the bottle. Of course you could use a good, fancy decanter or buy a drip stop, but where’s the fun in that?

Instead, do this:  

1. Take a piece of paper towel
2. Fold it into a strip
3. Wrap it around the bottleneck 
4. fasten it with a toothpick

Now you don’t need to worry about wine stains on the table, in your sofa or on you floor!
