It may just be me, but when the ‘Optiwiner’ nano-aerator showed up in my letterbox I suddenly began to envision drinking wine with Ironman or even better, Oliver Queen aka the Arrow (swoon!). Perhaps I watch too many superhero movies and telly programs where ‘nanotechnology’ is mentioned. More to the point, it was safe to say…
As most of you know, I have just moved into a new house. We are still painting and well, everything is still a shambles 6 weeks down the track (it seems to be never-ending! Thank goodness for wine when you’re building a house right). I am currently toying with ideas of what to do with my wine…

It’s also shown me that I still have…
