Or just drink straight from the box.

Sediment? What kind of poor quality control do they have in the wine factory?

Would wine snobs object to a small led light held on the the side of the bottle with a rubber band? That seems more practical.

I think that wine snobs disapprove of EVERYTHING!

I’m looking to recant some wine, is there a product to help me renounce my currant wine beliefs?

I don’t think rubber banding anything to the side of a moving bottle is practical at all. Especially since you’ll be holding it one handed, via a thumb in the punt.
But for practicality’s sake any light source will do, if you need one. You place it on the table in front of you so it shines through the bottle you’re holding.
But like I said etiquette. Most wine snobs likely have not a clue about the ins and outs of formal fine dining service standards.
Like I don’t think anyone’s gonna even notice if the table cloth you use on the wine cart/table and the napkin draped over your arm aren’t white. But they’re definitely supposed to be white.

How firm are these beliefs though? If stringent you might need a nitrogen pump based system to adequately smother them.

I believe in currant wine; I’ve seen it with my own eyes. Wasn’t very good.

Please, keep it clean!
But seriously, thanks for your contribution. Always love it when a specialist is generous with their knowledge.
Pro tip, when the box seems empty make sure you blow into the nozzle so you can get every last drop out of your favorite vintage.

Take the bag out of the box and squeeze it.

Cut a corner off the bag and suck out the last drops like a crazed vampire.

Ask yourself why you aren’t playing slap the bag.
Well, that price just woke me up. Way too expensive for Two Buck Chuck. And I wouldn’t want it anywhere near a nicer bottle of wine. If I drank wine I’d just pour it into a cocktail shaker… 
Who says I ain’t? Only with the fancy stuff though. I do have standards.

Not just wine snobs: snobbery is a sort of game where the most disapproval wins. To make it competitive, the disapproval also needs to have a plausible reason. The snob version of scoring a goal is to ruin the enjoyment of someone who had previously been enjoying whatever the snob is now sneering at.
Me, I shall stick to chianti. It’s easy to get, cheap, and the stuff from Lidl is just as good as the riserva bottles that cost three times as much.

Now, I’ve noted hints of currant in a lovely cabernet, but never tried a straight-up currant wine.
I’ll have to be raisin this at the next wine club meet up.
ETA: I see @74hc595 knows about this. Now I am curious!

I believe it’s made by putting cheap whiskey in Ribena.
Preferably in a Tesco parking lot somewhere in the Irish Midlands. Alternately in a field situated somewhat close to a pig.
Pairs well with tins in a bag.

Memories of Rum & Blacks, and a 2-liter bottle of Bulmers, in the dark in a graveyard near a Dunnes store.
