Here’s how to turn a penny into a TIME MACHINE.
Okay that might be hyperbole but we are excited.
If you are grown up enough to have wine mid-week and not drink the whole bottle, but nowhere near grown up to have bought a wine topper, this is for you.
The kind people of Cosmopolitan have shared this life-changing information via Reactions, and all you need is a humble five-cent coin.
As the below video outlines, to save your spoiled wine, just drop the CLEAN coin into the wine, and stir it around.
The science bit
The site writes: “The reason your wine will immediately taste different is because the copper from the penny reacts with the sulfur molecules the wine has developed from overexposure to oxygen.”
This apparently causes odorless copper sulfide crystals to form, which makes the wine drinkable again.
We don’t know what all that means, but we do know we love it. (Once we get over the idea of putting a coin in our drink. Bleugh.)
