The Sauvignon Blanc Bottle Mystery

We went there a few years ago but since then, the company has been taken over, imports have increased and some of their wine is bottled here in Cheshire.

😲

Did they have a bumper year at Villa Maria last year?

One of my favourites too.
I buy it when Sainsbury’s have 25 % off six bottles but not guilty of dumping my empties m’lud.
It is rather mysterious.

It’s my favourite too, so now there are 3 of us under the spotlight 😬

My favourite too. I’ve just bought 6 bottles. It was already reduced this week to £8 at Asda and then a further 25% off for 6, a bargain at £36. Couldn’t say no 😊
But it wasn’t me either

Message from DD who said she recently saw some lovely art made from bottles in France - perhaps they can repurpose them and make something beautiful?

A previous neighbour was an alcoholic and when I put out the recycling bin I would pick up several bags of empty vodka bottles left down our joint drive. A mystery why he wouldn't do it himself. Did he really think he was hiding them, perhaps that was how his pickled brain worked.

Maybe Fergie doesn’t want to risk being spotted at the bottle bank.

Nor in Yorkshire, either.

It's a vintage mystery - who is dumping dozens of sauvignon blanc bottles in the lanes between two pictureseque villages?

Residents of Hotham and North Cave, in East Yorkshire, say bags full of empty bottles have been turning up on grass verges for months.

From my earlier link.

Honest, Your Honour, it weren't me.

Oi! not Spaghetti 😁

There were shown on the BBC but I can't post them for some reason.

No mention of a bag Allira!

"The most I've collected in one day is 48."

...maybe you know more than I do??

It’s a very English sort of mystery isn’t it?😄

Or New Zealand 😁

I think it said found in just one day Allira May be disposing of them every time they (say) take the dog for a walk.
I didn't see that they were dumped in bags.

Confess I only read it once though.

I don't think I could carry a bag full of 48 bottles!

If this was April 1st I could understand it 😀

merlogran I feel rather sorry for the capybara, think they should let a male one free and let them live happily ever after.

It seems very odd.

Why not just put them in the recycling at home, or the big bins at supermarkets?

It sounded like the bottles were from a pub or restaurant, not just casual drinking at home, judging by the quantities of empty (not cheap) bottles of wine.

I would agree if it were various wine bottles but one type only?
I think the culprit is Allira and she’s getting her denial in first😂
Hope the magistrate is kind to you Allira

😂😂😂

We put ours in the recycling bin. Only two or three a week 😇

I will await the answer, should it ever come, with baited breath.

This might be a local (functional) alcoholic - one who had a stash in the garden (say) and has decided they need to get rid of them bit by bit?
Probably not someone who has "come out" about it or they would probably be all in the blue bin?

that's what i thought

I'm not sure that functioning alcoholics would go for Villa Maria?

They're not getting rid of them bit by bit, there are bags and bags full bring dumped. One farmer found 48 bottles dumped in a bag just on one day.

Not guilty m’lud……..much prefer a glass of red meself!

I doubt an alcoholic would be too fussy about always drinking the same variety of SB.

My theory is it’s being decanted and sold as an even more expensive tipple.
Easily done in a swanky restaurant.

My theory is it's an alcoholic who is now moving house and has to get rid of his/her stash of empty bottles.

They could still have taken them to a communal bottle bank.

I assume a vehicle has been used to transport them to the grass verges in the first place.

Why not go to a town a few miles away and use the facilities there?

Poor sod didn't want to draw attention to ones drinking habits and now is on the bbc news

Not guilty, firstly I am not a fan of Villa Maria Sauvignon and secondly I live in the South East 😹😹😹

I am a fan of Agatha Raisin’s style, especially her shoes and handbags, I expect she could solve this…
