Ingenious idea I tripped across in an Amazon list:

Not a shabby idea, and I especially will enjoy drinking up the prior contents... now let's see... I'll need a Jeroboam at least, a few Magnums, and several cases of both red and white... AND!!! I need a good cellar to keep my collection of developers aging to just the right level of tannin and body... Laughing

Seriously, yes, a good idea.

Or, you could simply give a squirt of butane into the bottle. Just be careful not to have a fag hanging off your lip when opening it. Smile

I do this but I use glass water bottles instead of wine. Less chance of acidic
traces left behind by former contents.

Another little way to do it is throw some glass marbles in as you use the
developer, which would bring it back to the tippy top before screwing down
the cap. Of course, this is a moot point as one of the reasons why we're
here is we lost our marbles. Wink Smile
