This weekend’s Wine tastings in Kwa-Zulu Natal

Kwa-Zulu Natalian wine lovers are in for a treat this weekend.

They will be able to taste Versus wines at few retail venues this weekend.

Here is the schedule

Party Drinks- How to Make Red Wine Jelly Shots?

If you love drinking Red Wine, you’ll love these Red Wine Jelly Shots!

Instructions

Things You’ll Need

  • 1 Small Raspberry Jelly Package
  • 1 Small Berry Blue Jelly Package
  • 500ml. of boiling water
  • 120ml. of Versus Red Wine
  • Glass or plastic shot glass cups

Boil the water. After the water has started to boil, remove from stove and measure out 500ml. Pour the water into a large bowl.

Pour each Jelly mixture into the bowl of boiling water. Stir until the Jelly has completely dissolved.

Add the Red Wine to begin setting the Jelly. (The Jelly will probably take longer to cool because of less water being used than normal. If you would rather the Jelly set a little quicker you can add a small amount of cold water.)

Pour the entire mixture into shot glasses or little plastic cups.

PS. Please enjoy responsibly

How to remove red wine stains from fabric

There are some stains you hardly have to worry about right away and then there are those that need to be taken care of right away. Red wine stains would be in the latter category.

From painstakingly washing the fabric by hand to simply tossing it into the washing machine, effective methods are available for getting rid of those dreadful red wine stains.

Things You’ll Need

  • Landry detergent, laundry pretreatment or dish soap
  • Clean sponge
  • Washing machine
  • Paper towels
  • Hydrogen peroxide
  • Towel or washcloth

Instructions

1.Blot the stain immediately with paper towels. If it is a dry clean only garment do not pretreat the stain and get it as fast as you can to the cleaners. Pretreatment of the stain can cause irreversible damage and the dry cleaner may not be able to remove the stain.

2. Combine 1 teaspoon laundry soap or pretreatment  and 1 cup hydrogen peroxide in a small bowl. Soak a clean sponge in the mixture, squeeze it halfway dry, then gently blot the stain.

3.Place a dry towel or washcloth between the front and back of the garment if the stain has not penetrated through to the back of the fabric. This will prevent staining on the back of the material.

4.Review the washing instructions on the label of the fabric. Heed any special care instructions.

5.Wash in cool water and air dry if the fabric is machine-washable.

6.Wash gently in the sink with a mild detergent if the fabric is hand-wash only.
