Haha! You’re so welcome. I didn’t really consider it “life” saving, but now that I think about it… you’re probably right. 🙃

As the world's slowest drinker, I'm totally stealing the small-bottle trick!

This was a wonderful post! Very informative and so helpful. I think I may need to talk my husband into our getting a Coravin, because I'd ideally like to keep a bottle going for weeks.

Try the half bottle trick first! If you’re only keeping an open bottle around for 2-3 weeks, it might not be worth it to get a Coravin.

Good tip! And I agree with another commenter, these are LIFE SAVING tips haha. Btw, I decided to recommend your publication on my own newsletter. I've really enjoyed chatting with you in Notes and am loving your posts.

Omg, Christina! Thank you! That’s so kind! 💕🙏

I use the app 99% of the time, and find it doesn’t give the full view like a laptop/desktop does. I also turn off all notifications (for every app) because it’s way to easy for me to get distracted, so I can’t risk the temptation, so I missed your recco. Much appreciated, friend. 🥂

And yes, our Notes convos are a daily joy! 😊

I'm right with you with turning off notifications! I used to have the Substack app, but I started deleting it on the weekends so that I wasn't tempting to be on my phone... then eventually I just stopped re-installing it. Now I only check Substack when I'm at my desk working.

That’s a good idea. But my favourite is to bring my phone outside with my coffee in the morning and read all the lovely Substack posts – like it’s my morning paper 😂
