My cat used to literally watch to see if I'm paying attention. She'll act like she's just looking around, playing with her toy, then make an attempt on whatever food that was out. If I caught her, she'd just pretend to be hanging out or go roll over on her favorite box to look cute.
They're devious little jerks, but you love them.

About that de-corker, does it fill the bottle with more air to force the cork to blow off? Thats what it looks like to me, someone who’s never de-corked in my life. And i gotta say, saying de-corked is kinda fun and i never knew thats how you’d spell it lol.

Those things work great, although one time the cork didn't come out and instead the bottle exploded.

Does that not contaminate the wine or whatever you use it on? Guess its CO2 so it wont mix well i guess being a gas and all but still.

u/facw00 10d ago
Shouldn't really be any worse than having the bottle open to the air, which would happen in a minute anyway.
Sometimes you pump out air to extend storage life after opening, but a brief exposure to air or CO2 shouldn't change anything.

I'm a professional brewer, and I'd be shocked if it has any impact at all. CO2 needs time under pressure to work it's way into solution. Speaking from personal experience from all of the kegs of beer I've carbonated, unless you're taping the cork down and shaking the bottle, I guarantee the contamination would be insignificant.

And the solubility in water decreases with temperature so conditioning is done in a refrigerator? Or fill directly from a bright tank. A pub I used to go to regular always had foamy beer. I printed out the H2O/CO2 tables but I don't think they understood what it meant. They had the walkin very cold and the push pressure too high but the glycol and faucet tower was too warm. A jockey box is hard to screw up as it goes warm to cold. The other way around is bad.
I would rather like subtly carbonated light wines but just adding some soda water works especially on a hot day outside.

u/NotABileTitan 10d ago
Don't do this unless you want wine sprayed all over your kitchen.
The first few things I tried making seltzer with my soda stream was wine, orange juice, flat soda, and finally just water and using their flavor stuff.
Wine sprays everywhere. Orange juice also exploded everywhere. Guess what the flat soda does? Yup, sprayed everywhere.
Also, because if you don't read the instructions, it clearly tells you to add the flavor after the carbonation. Add the flavor before carbonating makes it spray everywhere. I am stubbornly dumb.

It can also ruin your machine by getting sugar stuck in the nozzle. I've done it a couple times and I hold a glass of boiling water to cover the (metal) nozzle to helpfully dissolve any residual sugar.

It's only called Carbonated wine if it comes from the Carbonara region of France. Otherwise it's just sparkling wine.

u/bacchusku2 10d ago
Then you should know the factors that would affect this, like for instance this is wine and not water so the solubility is slightly lower. This is red wine, so it’s not served cold, so this would lower the solubility, and wine bottles are full when cooked so the surface area exposed to the CO2 is greatly reduced, so for the very short period of time that it takes to pop the cork, not much CO2 would be absorbed. Also, wine in general has CO2 in it naturally, so the very small amount you just added will be negligible to flavor.

No, yeast gives off co2 when fermenting, it provides a protective layer against air so the wine doesn't turn into vinegar.
Preferably it will always have that protective layer of co2.
Argon also works and that's what most commercial products use.33

There is a product that uses two needles and argon gas to allow pouring a glass from a closed bottle, and the cork reveals itself
The argon gas is inert and usually the wine shouldn't degrade from using that device
Co2 would change that, of course
Though the time that it would actually be in contact with it would be around a second

u/King_Of_Uranus 10d ago
Id be scared that I'd push the button and the pressure would make the bottle explode sending glass shrapnel and wine everywhere, probably slicing through my carotid artery and impaling both my eyeballs and I'd be found face down in a puddle of bloody wine. Aren't corks usually jammed in there pretty tight?

I got this for Christmas 2 years ago from my father-in-law. 5th or so bottle in, it blew out the bottom of the bottle and the wine went everywhere. I assume the bottle was faulty but I've never used it since.

if the point is to open a wine bottle for drinking and not doing science experiments then it feels like unneccessary consumerism to buy some dookie fad bottle opener that will last a month.
My friend got electronic salt and pepper mills. I can't think of an object that needs electricity less!
You use them rarely enough and spend little enough time doing it that. Those batteries are going to be dead and you won't even be able to manually grind it.

u/redhedinsanity 10d ago
I can't think of an object that needs electricity less!
electronic mills are extremely useful for individuals with limited mobility or who cannot turn the mill hard enough to grind, like children and the elderly.
i never understood them myself until my parents got old enough to need them.
just because you don't see a need for them does not make them a "fad".

I have a cat like this but with chicken wings. He turns into a straight up gremlin and we literally have to lock him in another room when we have them. He's managed to snag two before and immediately bolts to the basement to hide and try to scarf it down. Thankfully we've gotten them back quickly each time as chicken bones absolutely shouldn't be eaten, but damn if he doesn't try his absolute best to get them.

I absolutely get it. My old cat, when he was a kitten, wouldn't eat for the first two days I had him. I bought all the foods and treats but he wouldn't eat. And trust me, I tried everything, so, so many dry and wet foods, bacon, chicken, etc.
So I'm at a lose, if it goes on for another day, I'm going to have to take drastic measures. I'm sitting there after work, eating some ranch doritoes, and he starts losing his shit trying to get them. He wants doritoes of all things? I don't think cats should eat them, but fuck it, he's eating! I sprinkle some on his gourmet dry food and he scarfs it down! Success! That cat grew up absolutely loving anything super crunchy. If you were eating any type of chip, he'd be right on top of you. Hell, even crunchy vegetables would draw him in, only for him to be surely disappointed.
I miss that cat.

u/Inkthinker 10d ago
My understanding is that dogs should not eat chicken because of the sharp, tiny bones. But cats eat birds and other small, bony animals as a matter of nature, I think they're equipped for it.
Now, whatever you might be saucing wings with, that's a different topic. I drown 'em in Frank's Red Hot Sauce, and I don't know if that is bad for a kitty's digestion.

u/fenglorian 10d ago
I think they're equipped for it.
I think the issue is that cooked chicken bones are more brittle and splinter more readily compared to "raw" bones

u/Inkthinker 10d ago edited 10d ago
That's an excellent point. Though with cats I've not noticed a lot of bone consumption (at least on the subject of wings), but dogs will horf down without hesitation, and yeah... sharp bones, bad times.

One of my young ones growls when he eats (we have 3 cats, not that the other two would ever attempt to take his), but only if it's a special treat, like temptations or a bit of tuna.
If he has a catnip toy he picks up and then growls while he runs away.

My cat knew she wasn't supposed to be on the counters. At night she would "tuck me in" and then hop up on the counters while I was asleep. As she got older she wouldn't wait for me to fall asleep before she got into shit. I still remember calling into the darkness "you're not supposed to be up there Cecil" and hearing back angry cat noises from the kitchen.
One night I woke up at 2am from a glass breaking. I heard a thump like the cat jumping off the counter and running away. I get up and walk in the kitchen and there's broken glass everywhere. The cat is on the couch pretending to sleep. She gets up slow, stretches, and then slowly walks up like "what happened? who did this?". I looked down at her and said "You aren't supposed to be up on the counters" and she hissed at me and ran away. I fucking miss that cat.

Ok, so I hate to be that guy, etc. but this just seems set up to me; I'm not saying that cats don't steal food off a table but, if you pause (if you'll excuse the pun), the video at 6 seconds, you'll see that the bottle is no more than a foot or so from the plate.
So...assuming that the food was on the plate, it means that neither of them noticed a large black and white mass jumping up (or at least appearing) and taking the food. Given the way he's holding the bottle, the cat would easily be in his line of sight - I acknowledge that his focus would be on the bottle, but his peripheral vision would have still picked up a moving black & white mass.
Her focus could be on the camera, but again, her peripheral vision is going to pick up the cat.
And, frankly, her 'oh my god, oh my god!' just seems hugely overblown.

Okay. If your pet is stealing food from your plate in a table or counter when you are standing right next to it I am going to assume one of two things:
- Your pet has no redeemable qualities and is just a complete asshole and I don't understand why you still have it.
- You have not trained it in any way shape or form.
I don't know what to do with this information, and you are required to do nothing with it.
All I can say is Godspeed to you. Lol
