what to do with unwanted presents

What do you all do with those presents you got for xmas and don't want or like.

I got a white wine box its medium sweet and I only like dry wine. Do you know how I could make it drinkable.

Re: what to do with unwanted presents

Does anyone know a punch recipe that would disguise the taste. I cant sell it as I have had one glass. That how I found I did not like it.

Re: what to do with unwanted presents

Get some mates round for drinks, a bring a bottle type thing and palm it off to your mates and then keep the (hopefully) decent stuff that they bring.

Re: what to do with unwanted presents

Hi,
Burp,

Try this one :-

1xcan condensed milk
1xcan evaporated milk
1xbottle cheap white wine [75cls I think they are]
approx. to taste, 1/4 bottle of brandy or scotch
whisk or mixer it together & consume.

Shake the bottle before each serving, tastes similar to Irish cream, dependent on the wine., You end up with nearly two litres of very more-ish.

Xam.
