Desperate Housewives’ Teri Hatcher Proclaims New Use for Leftover Wine
Throw away your Vacu-Vin, your Private Preserve, your nitrogen and your argon gases.
Leftover wine — say, the kind a wine shop might have after a Saturday tasting (yes, the list is below) — isn’t for drinking. it’s for bathing, silly. So says Teri Hatcher in an American Online interview.
“In terms of taking care of yourself, I recommend a number of things that I do myself; from something as simple as taking a hot bath at night after the kids are in bed, to a trick that I know and love: if you’ve found that you haven’t been able to finish a bottle of wine, instead of throwing it away you can keep that wine and put it in your bathtub. … Wine has a natural skin softener and exfoliant in it, and it just makes you feel luxurious. And it has that coupon-esque, ‘I didn’t waste anything,’ recycling feel to it. So in a lot of ways it’s a really great, tiny little trick to take care of yourself.”
So take care of YOURself today during the Saturday wine tastings. Note especially the appearance today at Arrow Wine’s Centerville store of a rep from J. Lohr winery and the special Monday night tasting featuring Allison Steltzner of Steltzner Vineyards in the Napa Valley.
Sorry this information — which comes to us via a local wine listserve — is late this week and hasn’t been “prettied up,” but the information is all here for those who click on “continue reading” …

Hmm. Bathtub or vinegar barrel? Thinking… Thinking… Nope, the vinegar barrel still wins.
