Posting wine samples

[hedgerowpete]

I want to send someone some wine in the post. but what to put it in. i dont want to send the whole bottle just a glass full as a sampler.

I can use small water bottles but they are plastic water bottles, whats the leaching on the wine going to do. i can do sample pots 100ml, but again plastic and worried about leaching

so thats just glass, but theres no way i am ever going to buy a tiny bottle of wine, my wife would slap the bejeasus outof me for build child size happy meal wine portions?

so what container do i use to send 100ml of wine in the post?

bloody stamps would cost me more the gallon cost to make lol

it looks as if i might have to buy a pack of those silly tiny euro beers and re crown them.

Have a look at the bottle swap threads I don't think it costs much to post.

I've had breakages though. So will probably stump up the 15p in future...

Put it in a paper cup and write "This way up" on it.

If you don't trust your postie maybe you've got a bag sealer - make a pouch, fill it, seal it. No bag sealer? Use an iron to make pouches out of suitable plastic.
