About Me

I've been collecting Coke cans since 1986. While not the biggest collection, I enjoy collecting unique Coke cans and bottles from around the world. I also have an unrestored Vendo 81 in my basement. It's been untouched in 13 years. One of these days I'll restore it to it's full glory. Please take a look at the photo gallery, and if you have a picture to share, go ahead and add it!

Coke and red wine

Written by Derek on May 13, 2009, 606 views

Someone asked me today if I had ever heard of a drink called Calimocho. Apparently it’s a 50-50 mix of red wine and Coke. Has anyone else had this? I think I’ll give it a try.
calimocho or aka kalimotxo
Here’s some other Coke drink recipes.

    Derek,
    Good site. Question: I have about 100 Coke cans (and other brands) in my collection. I have some fairly old ones (20 yrs old?), and some foreign and sports cans. Right now most are full, but a few have leaked out. What do you recommend? Should I drain each one? Will that reduce their potential value? Seems like eventually they will all leak. Thanks.

    Hi Gary, If I were you, I’d drain them. You’re right – the coke will eat away at the can and if left undiscovered will make a mess and could lead to rust where the leak is. I punch 2 holes in the bottom of the can so the top still looks unopened. As far as affecting the value, I think most people recognize the problem with leaving the Coke in and wouldn’t complain too much if you emptied them. Thanks for the post!

    It\’s typical in Spain to drink Calimocho when young people are drinking alcohol ;)
