I fully understand Sarsons following the recent example of Lea & Perrins in making it extremely difficult for charlatans and fraudsters to refill your branded bottles with (undoubtedly) inferior substitutes, but as is always the case in these matters, it's the honest consumer - i.e. me - who ends up suffering as a result.
 

Maybe they can team up with PACE and come up with a solution that uses an iLok?

 You may mock Randy. But the many UK grocery forums I belong to are afire with this particular grievance.

Quite possibly the funniest thing I've read anywhere this year.

+1, my nomination for Funniest Post of 2013.

Gee Steve...  These bottles of, um, vinegar weren't meant to be refilled!
 

 
HTH.

I'm not familiar with that product - what is it mate? It's quite difficult to tell from such a little pic.
 
 

Probably best to PM you that answer mate.

Over here they are replacing the glass olive oil bottles with cheap plastic olive oil bottles............

Probably in an attempt to head off a repeat of the Great Oudorp Salad Dressing Riots of 1786.
 
It was carnage...lightly drizzled, with a hint of basil.. but still carnage.

 

I know this is an old thread, but I was about to refill my Sarsons vinegar bottle this afternoon, only to discover the treachery inherent in the newer cap design :(
 
I found this thread by googling the problem, and am about to attempt a solution: heat the Sarsons bottle upside down in a cup of boiled water and then use oven gloves or a tea-towel to remove the softened lid. Wish me luck..

I think they call that a 'life hack' these days  Get it on YouTube!

Someone did!
 
And it works! Time to celebrate with a cucumber sandwich..
