[Growwine] Unusual topic, but

[Margaret Marshall]

Hi PHil!  I think I made comment about this last year.  When we first started dealing with St Pats they were difficult.  We had to go to the bank and get american money orders.  The extra paper work was onerous.  They will not take canadian credit cards.  Shipping always depends on the size of equipment they are sending.   They usually take the time to find the cheapest method.  There was one shipment that was  $60.  We had DHL broker the shipment in.   They use yellow quite a bit, which is always reasonable because they really cram their trucks.  Also, yellow is good about letting you know where your shipment is.  They have also been very good about customer service.  If there is a problem, they deal with it immediately.  Ciao, Margaret

    HI Larry! We have purchased some equipment from St Pats of Texas because their prices are very competitive, even with shipping.  They have a capper called a stelvin capper.  I am not sure if that is what you are looking for.  Their email is www.stpats @bga.com.  Ciao, margaret

      Does anyone know of a Canadian supplier who can access the European size crown caps (the 29 mm size, not the more usual 26 mm we see here in Canada on beer bottles and sparkling wine).  Also, does anyone know where a capper or adaptor could be found to use these caps?

      I think that keeping 1-3 year wines in such containers (assuming you can locate the right bottles) would be a very wallet -and -environment friendly way to bottle wines.  Think of that riesling or gewurz, vidal or prairie star that you will drink over the next three years.  Why not a bottle cap?
