It’s not too much to ask for a martini glass that doesn’t want to topple over. However when it comes to barware, long stemmed martini glasses are an accident waiting to happen. (Remember, these things are meant to be filled with booze!) Overcoming tradition is not always an easy thing, but if it means less spilled booze, then perhaps it’s not a bad idea to consider a new design. The Starfrit Gourmet 7-Ounce Double Wall Martini Glass
It should come as no surprise that fishing and drinking are two activities that go well together. But fish and drinking? As in drinking fish? Sure, why not? They seem to like liquids. It is certainly the case with the River’s Edge Realistic Bass Fish Wine Bottle Holder
The hand-painted polyresin wine holder props up a standard sized 750-ml bottle for all to see. However, as most people are going to be distracted by the centerpiece, now might be a good time to try to sneak by a bottle of Two Buck Chuck.
A wine rack is only as good its name. That is to say, wine racks are boring. You put a bottle of wine in or on one and then walk away. A rack for wine. Not to be consumed (at least at that time). The Ennospace Wine Shelf Rack Set Espresso
It isn’t always easy to find kitchen gear that could belong in any era. An antiqued microwave oven? No thanks. But an antiqued corkscrew? Well that just makes sense. The True Fabrications Antique Winged Corkscrew
Alcohol has a sometimes-wonderful, sometimes-not-so-wonderful way of distorting perception. It’s no secret what wine can do: every culture that ever existed in human history has found one way or another to alter the mind; it’s only natural. Problem is, sometimes those effects can have unintended consequences. The Photo Wine Stopper may be designed to be a clever wine-related gift, but as it is capable of displaying not one, but two separate photos it also would make a great before and after display. Now exactly what those before and after photographs entail is entirely up to you.
***Update 10/17/24: New bottle (stoppers) for old wine! The exact product above is no longer available, so here is the Customizable ArtPix 3D Crystal Photo Wine Stopper.
Wine is best enjoyed in low-light situations. Mood lighting, candlelight, fireplace, you name it: being able to see just doesn’t go with wine. While drinking (and storing) wine is preferable out of direct light, pouring wine isn’t particularly a good activity to do in the dark.
Understanding this dilemma, the Tipsee Wine Bottle Task Light shines a light in these light-challenged environments. Attaching directly to the neck of a wine bottle, the bright LED lets you see where you are pouring. Of course as convenient as this wine gadget may be, it won’t help much if you are already seeing double.
