I have no scientific evidence to support this, but I think earthworms love it! Does anyone else pour bad/spoiled wine in their compost?

    Honestly I wouldn’t, there are a bunch of organisms thriving (hopefully) in there, you just added a fuck load of yeast and whatever bacteria/ mould is in there. Idk couldn’t be horrible but probs not great

    Yes, I do. I guess the worst thing that can happen is a temporary and insignificant slowdown.

    You can also turn it into vinegar if you want.

  4. Bad wine still makes a good beef casserole.

    Although what about beer? Would that be beneficial to compost?

  5. I have never seen a picture of me on Reddit before, and then suddenly, I had – but it wasn’t me. It was a guy who looks bloody similar, and does the same things. We have magnificent foreheads, by the way. You look like you could be a slightly scaled up version of me from the fence height behind you. And yes – I pour anything in the pile that might compost. Spoiled wine – thats a win for compost from me.

    The alcohol might kill some of the fungi / bacteria / other living organisms but not sure if its a net-positive or negative impact in the end
