Nasty yelamans! Here is an eastern comrade to warm up her muffler on the wintry 1942 Eastern front...
Cracked open another bottle from my sister's birthday case since I need to fill up my beach skittles while watching Beetlejuice 2. A watchable giggle 7.4/10.
If a wine does not pass muster it can be salvaged by adding a capful (5ml) of ribena concentrate. This was a 2 capful glass.
Once you have the capful calibration you can then decant an appropriate number of mls to fix the whole bottle.
This is a trick I learned in the Napa valley while cycling through California in the 1990s!
I even keep a tiny bottle of Ribena in the glove compartment so I can rescue wines while out and about on safari
