Wizz Wheel. 3" cutting disc on a die grinder will make short work of that.

I know a couple of people (myself included) who are keen on making short work of the contents. It goes well with Stone's green ginger wine...

If there's any way I can help, I have a chain saw with metal cutting blade.  A mere matter of seconds to access the prize!!!

Mel B is correct it is zinfandel a red wine.  We forget there are people of other languages and countries on this site.  We should all try to use real words instead of American slang or idioms so that everyone will know what we are talking about.  Also if people will put their location in their account we will know where the person is located for comments.  Dominick

I apologize in advance for the "threadjack", but I have to agree that it would be great if we could see where the other members are.

I believe someone already got to it and swapped the bottle for this one

The top weld isn't as neat as the bottom weld :-\

Have tried both the 12yr old & the 20yr Appleton's & their both good. It's probably not a good example of my good friend's (Sefton) welding. He does it for a living & would have knocked it up in 5 minutes flat. He also knows I'm going to attack it with a 4" grinder. It's the funniest Christmas present I've got in years...

All good, I still wouldn't have known what it was by it's full name either. The only red stuff I drink is port usually Taylors or Crofts, have a bottle of Penfold's grandfather port that I am saving for a special occasion.....

MFB, that is not what I meant.  Go to the Alantani.com home page.  Click on profile. On the left side of the screen click on Forum Profile Information and in the spot where it asks for location put in New Zealand.  That puts your location under your avatar.  Dominick
