Fortunately, Saran Wrap soaks up TCA like a sponge, especially if the scent is mild.
You can still enjoy that bottle of wine, so don’t toss it down the drain!
Here is what you do instead:
- Put a square foot of saran wrap balled up into a pitcher.
- Decant the wine by pouring the whole bottle in the pitcher right over the plastic wrap.
- Let it sit and swirl it around so that all the wine gets exposed to the plastic. 5-10 minutes should do. (If the smell is really bad you may need to repeat the process with a second piece of plastic.)
- When the smell is gone, taste the wine and if it seems to have no more TCA smell, it’s ready to drink.
- Decant it into another container and serve!
Hopefully this tip saves you from ever losing a good bottle of wine again. Share with all your friends who drink wine!
