Sister wanted some 1 gallon glass bottles. They're $10 each online, but the local liquor store sells identical bottles filled with wine for $11 each lol ππ·π₯΄
As someone who was once in the same situation. The one gallon jugs that you buy for $10 are designed to fit a rubber plug on the mouth and all the mouths are the same size. The $11 jugs that you buy which are filled with wine don't have a consistent mouth size, so you might need to buy different sized rubber plugs for each. It's not a huge problem, but it is a slight inconvenience.
You can turn the extra wine into vinegar. it does this naturally if you leave it open for a few weeks. This depends on the alcohol content, and you can buy starter bacteria for the process to speed it up.
my moms family would buy that gallon jug wine for thanksgiving. i got to try some when i was maybe 10 years old. im pretty sure that kept me from drinking til i was like 18.
I did this with a one gallon jar of pickles so I could turn it into a squirrel feeder. It was significantly cheaper than just buying an empty jar of the same size.
