can anyone offer suggestions as to the best way to "burp" the bottle? sometimes no matter what i do, when i try to pour i get nothing...

Keep hitting the bottom of the bottle. Shake it, hit it again. Sometimes insert a knife in the groves of the plastic piece.

I usually just bump the neck against the heel of my hand a couple of times. That seems to work.

How Do you have a drill The "pourers" here are difficult to remove. They are there to prevent bar owners from putting a cheaper brand of alcohol into a more expensive liquor bottle.
On a side note: Drove to Chetumal, Belize and the Duty Free Zone Monday. Stocked up on liquor. My fav, Jack Daniels, was $20 USD for a one liter bottle................so I got two. No "pourers" in Duty Free Zone liqour bottles.

I was thinking the same thing. I have tried removing these things to combine two half bottles of liquor into one before a journey. I never did figure out a good way to do it, so I did a Google search today as I thought I was missing something. I came up empty handed.

I have tried to take the "pourer" out once the bottle was empty. Only way that I could take it out was to drill it...which is highly impractical if there if liquor in the bottle.

I have removed it on empty bottles using this:


never tried with a bottle with liquor inside

I came to the conclusion that I was going to have to empty two half bottles into a couple of pint glasses (which would take forever) and break out the plastic; then pour the contents back into one bottle. I finally decided my original thinking had been terribly naive. And I was I'm not going to be saving any space and the two separate half bottles would be making the journey. :-)

I now want to know how Shammy gets the plastic thingies out of the bottles.

I would hit the hardware section of Walmart or head to HomeDepot,

Next bottle that cross my path will be subjected to be filled with water prior to removing the thingie for testing purposes.
