It won't completely not work. As long as the bottle isn't full you'd be able to suck a little bit out before you'd have to let some air in, and as you made your way through the bottle it'd get easier.

Also, as my roommate almost instantly pointed out, it'll only work with bottles with threading, aka: only really lovely wine, aaka: the only wine you'd drink that way.

Unless you live in Australia, because basically all wine here comes in screwtop bottles these days (as it should everywhere because corks are terrible).

I had a can of 'happy wine' - as in that was the labelling on the can - in the Czech Republic. It was exactly the experience you would expect from a can of wine.

I'm reminded of the days when Paris Hilton was promoting champagne in a can. I didn't try it myself, the combination put me off.

I don't actually think those bags contain wine... yet. Because I'm thinking about the boxed apple juice we used to buy that came in bags exactly like that, and realizing you probably could hang it outside like that to ferment.

Also, proto-lifehack: Live in the 80s when mylar-upholstered furniture was a thing and inflate the empty bags for use as cushions.

Shit.
We have a soda stream that we got for Christmas, and it owns. We did some experimenting with liquor, and it works great. Wine too, but you have to do just a little bit, think individual glasses worth. Vodka works great, as does brown liquor. Wine is harder because the sugar in it provides a shitload of nucleation sites for the bubbles. Same for the particulate in tea. That's why you have to mix flavors in after the water has been carbonated.

Soda stream owns as long as you don't make the garbage sodas with it. On demand sparkling water is the best.

It's a piece of JUNK!
Perusing Lifehacks/Pinterest/whatever for any length of time gives me the impression that I'm a weirdo for not having dozens of spare wooden pallets just lying around the house. What exactly are these people getting forklifted to their houses on such a regular basis?

The thing that gets me is pallets are splintery and frequently falling apart. Why would anyone want those in their house?

It's free wood that makes you look poor, what's not to love? Normally you have to pay enormous amounts of money at pottery barn to look that poor!

If you work somewhere taking deliveries that come with ownership of the pallets (as opposed to leasing them) the bosses will try to give them away because otherwise they would be paying someone to haul away as trash.

I think that's become slightly rarer with wood prices going up due to conservation efforts and most people deal with the leased sort or know a recycler who will take them for no cost to rehab and sell them back into the system so I think the lifehacks community is cargo culting stuff their dad did even though it's started making less sense with pallet lessors breathing down company's necks to return 105% of their allocation.
