Canoers and kayakers on trips often use the used (and washed) "bags" from 
boxed wine for carrying water.  I sheepishly admit that such (box wine) 
exists in my house... my (much) better half makes a spritzer using Almaden 
"Mountain Chablis" (yeah, like it is really CHABLIS) and diet Mountain 
Mist... it's her evening relaxer.  She actually kept this knowledge from me 
for quite some time after we were married, but the deception eventually got 
to her... she couldn't live with herself.  My reaction, rather than one of 
horror (friends who do not share my love of fine wine call me a wine "snob") 
was one of approval.  Almaden and a soft drink?  Made for each other!  <g>  
Actually, I had some "naked", and it's quaffable, if not memorable.

So now I will ask her to save the "empties" for darkroom use.
