Any ideas how to refill Sarsons vinegar bottle (see photo)

You'll obviously need to keep your thumb over the hole at enough pressure to keep the contents from squirting out, but at not too high a pressure as to keep the "cork" in the bottle, so to speak. This may need practise.

Right got it. Yes got it.
If I survive the flame thrower and microwave ideas I may go that route.
BTW do you have SCUBA gear I can borrow ?

Go up, not down. No need to worry about the "bends".

Take a bike and set a strava KOM that'll never be beat.

Two attempts maximum.

Honestly the fork and lever it out works although I use it for a different purpose, the vinegar I buy is the real cheap stuff that often comes without a bung so I have to nick the one out of the empty to insert in the cheapo bottle.

But you have seen the photo I posted. It only needs some simple graphic comparrisons to deduece that it is in fact the 284mm size.

Basic error there. Two seperate units of measurment being used.

Smash the bottle and push the stopper out from the inside, or buy a bottle of vinegar from Aldi for about 20p.

Tried that. Went through 15 various bottles but all the wrong size.
Anyone want to buy 2 gallans of Aldi vinegar ?

Invert the bottle with its stopper in liquid nitrogen. After a few minutes, remove. If the stopper doesn't just drop out, give it a tap with a suitable hammer and punch. Allow to return to room temperature before refilling with vinegar.

Dont feel insulted but I now feel the fork method is just too simple. The ones that might destroy my house (and probably my marriage) are just so much more challenging

Ehh ?

Ehh ?

You're using mm, I was using ml.

Was that the height or diameter of the bbottle?

No, no. I just have an interest in doing tasks in the easiest possible manner. Call me lazy, if you like.

Have you got a Waiter's Friend corkscrew? That would do the job if you screwed the corkscrew into the hole.

284mm is the contents.

Proof that the internet is full of shite.

That is the "trick" I referred to in my OP but it is for the flip top type.
