Years ago, I supplied castor for dad and Dave Edwards. Dave liked to have his castors dried, then soaked in red wine for 6 months. He said it fired them up some.

Grain alcohol, vodka etc. can boost castor odor to a degree as long as it holds within the material once it has evaporated will loose much of that component of odor push..Wine has a much lesser degree of alcohol per volume but will also help to boost odor due to the alcohol content.

Small odor boosting measures can really make a difference in the final odor of a product. What we smell isnt what an animals smells in terms of intensity and odor vapor.
