Read a site today that said if you add red wine to water it can act as a purifier. Not as good as clorox, iodine, or peroxide, but better than nothing.

Of course, if you had the red wine, why would you add it to the dirty water, LOL.

Seriously though, 1 part red wine to 3 parts water has an antimicrobial effect on the water (won't prevent giardia or cryptosporidia though.)

St. Paul knew what he was talking about. Wine was known in antiquity for its antiseptic qualities with less-than-perfect water supplies.
