ya know.... i considered another "trick" that is kind of a little bit like the gatorade trick!

a couple of weeks back i spilled some of my wine in the ice cubes... not a lot.. so instead of getting rid of the ice cubes... i used them... now we're talking sprinkles.... in the cubes.... MAYBE a tablespoon! (quick reaction time to save my wine!)

well... that little bit of wine in the bottles made my water taste a tad bit like wine! and for days after (i rinse and air dry... don't wash my bottles daily cuz i only ever put water in them...well.. except for the wine flavored ice cubes!) so i was thinking of purposely making wine ice cubes to see if that would help! lol! but it would probabaly just taste like plastic flavored wine!

the not as helpful guys (but some are!) at the other forum said it's probably cuz they are newly manufactured that they reek so bad! makes sense to me! they haven't been sitting a warehouse for very long.. cuz they are a really new remake/restyle!
