Default Flies in my wine.......Gaaaaaaaaah!

Why? Where from? WTF ARE they? Every time I pour a glass, they are there. I fish one out, the little fekker is still alive, it ACTUALLY thinks I've saved it and it's gonna fly off............ho! ho! we will see about THAT my little friend. Take that.........you little smear on my jeans!

Picks up wine fior a swig and there are TWO MORE!!!!!

**** . Where are tyhey cominmg from? Those two go the same way.

Suspicious looks at glass..........nowt in it but wine, great. Takes a swig..........Ptheu! Fly in my gob!!!!!!!

I HATE them. One day I will kill ALL the flioes in Briatain and be fly-free for ever..........Muahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah aha!

TWO MORE while I've typed this..........getting ready to blow a rod...........

Best remedy is to drink more until you think they add flavour

Extra protein.....get it down yer, lad.

Just think, they've been chomping on the grapes along with all sorts of other lovely insects messing around laying egg and crapping on them before they managed to get into a wine bottle.

If they are tiny they are probably fruit flies. There seems to be more of them on mainland europe than in the UK though. In 2000-2001 we had a massive infestation of them here in Germany and they were evrywhere, you could not pour a drink without finding them swimming in it.

You must be just plain unlucky!

I bet the flies were feeling no pain!

They died happy.......or squashed. I don't really mind fishing them out, it's getting one in my mouth I'm not so keen on.

Mate reckons they turn your wine to vinegar if you leave 'em in long enough?

I gather that if you leave wine open to the air for long enough, it will oxidise into vinegar.

Does it? Without any help from the flies? Try Googling "Vinegar fly".
