Across Australia, so many of us are staying at home right now. Although we might long for the day when we can gather around a table and open a great bottle of wine, for those in cities that are locked down, it could be a while.
In the meantime, you might try an alternative approach to enjoying wine at home: drinking a magnum over the course of several days, as you would with boxed wine.
A magnum is twice the size of a regular bottle, at 1.5 litres it contains around 16 glasses of wine. If it’s a quality wine from a reputable producer, once you’ve opened a magnum and poured yourself a glass or two, you can simply pop the cork back in – or, even better, stock up on a few cheap, versatile wine stoppers (we use these at home). Once you’ve closed the bottle properly, just place the wine in your fridge door for another night.

Listing sites like Zillow said the property, which last sold for $289,500 in 2006, was now worth more like $1.2 million. Robinson wasn’t looking to sell, but it seemed like a perfect chance to shave several hundred dollars off her monthly payment by locking in a lower interest rate.
