This Woman Hacked Her Fridge To Dispense Wine And We Want To Live With Her

Trine Jensen-Burke

You know those days where there just isn’t enough wine in the world (or someone is just not pouring it fast enough) to compensate for your stressful day?

We feel ya, mamas, sure we have all been there.

Which is why when we discovered this genius hack 28-year-old Clare just came up with, we just had to share it with you.

The UK-based blogger and beauty PR had just bought a house  – and new fridge – with her boyfriend Joe when she came up with an idea so brilliant we feel it is bordering on the Nobel prize.

Enter the wine-dispensing fridge.

Twitter – and the internet at large – went wild (go figure!) and her tweet was soon retweeted close to 70,000 times.

This is what Claire told Buzzfeed about her brilliant lifehack:

“We ordered the fridge and Joe said it came with a wine cooler section and I said, ‘Or we could put it in the water dispenser.’ It seemed to make perfect sense,” she said.

And guess what?! The hack worked “perfectly.”
“We finished off the bottle and washed it out so it’s back to water now. Not sure if it would work if you left it for a while, though,” Claire explained.

It also didn’t affect the taste of the wine or the water they put in after, she added. (good to know if you ever want to go back to water, which, we, in fairness, cannot comprehend why you would, but whatever…)

Here are some of Twitter’s epic response to Clare ‘water-to-wine’ hack:
