We did that back in the 60's but that was with beer bottles. We got to know which pubs we had to take certain bottles back to . We were paid for the deposit and then spent the money on sweets, crisps and pop . It was a good system. The breweries got their bottles back and the pubs benefitted from the trade .We used to collect bottles for the pop van man and get my money back.
I now collect empty soda and beer cans from the countryside while I am out riding. I take them to the supermarket and put them in a machine. I then get a reciept which I can spend in the supermarket.
I love the stuff, especially as part of a Whisky Mac. Crabbies is also a good ginger wine.A different beverage… As a teen, when we would go on camping trips, it was customary to always bring along a bottle or two of this… Stones Ginger Wine. It was unique to us in the States. One of us must’ve tried it on a whim. Then it became a standard camping beverage. I suppose everybody on this board is familiar with it? I always have loved ginger In any form. I wonder if this stuff was where it all started?

I can remember my parents having cheese and wine parties back in the early 70's, where bottles of Blue Nun and Liebfraumilch were regarded as the height of sophistication.
Haha, I held those parties myself! Used to spend hours and hours skewering chunks of cheddar and pineapple on toothpicks ...
