An empty 5 liter wine bladder is what we use in the car-fridge to stop stuff falling over when the fridge isnt full. Best thing is the bladders pack down to almost nothing when not needed.

I must remember to save mine.
Jimbo has a great use for them. He fills them with water for his travels. Not sure how he gets the water in though.

I have used cask bladders for ..

Part flling with water to freeze & place on the shelves of the fridge to maintain temperature.

Pillow if you are hard up or pissed. (most common use)

Blowing up to put into Engel to fill up the space & stop the bottles of good stuff banging against each other.

Filling and packing in a milk crate as back up drinking water.

Using as designed, to provide ample alcohol at an affordable price. Wish I had one of those things that RSLs used to use, with a beer like tap on the fridge wall that opened the spout & pressed the bladder to fill the glass.

Of course we (I) only buy the "good quality" boxes of goom & drink out of appropriate wine glasses in the privacy of our mobile home away from home.

ps. A bit of supa glue on refilled twist top wine bottles makes that great 'crack' noise when opening. Or so I'm told.

Not if you like the contents. I generally get rid of the box and put the bladder full of wine in the Waeco and it goes into the crevices between stuff and fits beautifully.

I've also blown them up like a balloon to keep birds away from fruit tree.

There is some very useful information on this site. And that is very useful information! Mind you, I imagine you have to be careful about just how much supa glue you apply. Too much and you could leave yourself very thirsty!

Cheers, Tony
