Most of my bottles are cylindrical. They hold more that way.

That's so bourgeois.

Scott, I fear you may be confusing flasks with bottles. Though I think it's kinda dandyish of you to store them in a cellar, so, kudos!

 

[Scott Kraft]

OK for the logically impaired, a "flat-lying bottle". There! Satisfied?!

 

[Sharon Bowman]

I am so disenchanted. Begone, image of the Humphrey Bogart of wine cellars!

 

[Scott Kraft]

You know how to whistle, don't you, Sharon?

i keep a few empty 1/2 bottles around for pouring off what i know i won't finish from a 750, corking, and then into fridge. works very well.

The glass stoppers that seal some wines these days are very useful for recycling in just this situation.

But Vino-Loks need a special bottle neck, too, so you'd have to get a 375 with a Vino-Lok seal and hang on to both. Personally, I think that hoarding those little 187 mL screwcapped bottles one gets on airplanes would be the way to go.

? I don't know if they're Vino-Loks or perhaps another brand, but if have no leaks from the seals when I use them with regular bottles.

to keep air contact to a minimum, i will pour enough wine into the 375 so that a little wine squishes out when i insert the cork.

I've picked up this habit from reading here; works well.
