Default Very weird question about compost

Cat(H) you must have very educated taste buds, I've yet to find a wine I
can't drink! ;-)


Maybe so. Be my guest if you wish to collect ;-)
Seriously, though. You can't cook with bad wine, you can't present it
to friends or risk losing them, you can't give it to your enemy or
risk making him/her a far deadlier one, I don't subscribe to home brew
- probably because any I have ever had to be polite enough to sample
was absolutely goddawful, and because where I come from, wine is made
with grapes by people who know their business (i.e., not me, nor, from
my experience, too many homebrewers). My expertise is in the
drinking.
At this stage, it seems my pouring it over the compost heap will be of
limited value to the said heap - though probably not detrimental
either. So, it's a toss up whether I'll do that, or whether I'll
simply let it down the drain - which was what I was hoping not to
do.
The determining factor will be just how much rain is pouring this week
end when I go about clearing up the kitchen, and just how soggy the
lawn...
