Ding! Your wine is ready.

Koolatron Countertop Wine Cellar

Cooking with wine is a great way to add depth of flavor to many dishes, however most chefs tend to at least wait until the wine is out of the bottle. If you’re into nuking (or toasting) your wine before it even has a chance to breathe, you may want to look elsewhere. While this Koolatron Countertop Wine Cellar may look for all the world like a cross between a microwave and a toaster oven, this small 6-bottle wine fridge has no plans on ringing in the New Year with a few bottles of overdone wine. (At least I think so; those buttons across the front could just as easily house a shade selector and one-touch popcorn control.)

This wine opener will not get misplaced

Rogar International Champion Wine Opener in Antique Pewter with White Wave Granite

Granite and wine rarely mix, but luckily there’s another way to open that bottle other than hitting it against a slab of hard rock. The Rogar International Champion Wine Opener in Antique Pewter with White Wave Granite is an impressive stationary opener that can uncork (and re-cork) bottles in under a second. That’s a timeframe even the most impatient among us will find comforting, while those who practice patience will appreciate an opener this steady as a rock. Best of all, there’s no fishing about for an elusive opener—this behemoth has no chance of getting lost in the utensil drawer.

Zero bottles of beer on the wall

Wrought Iron Vineyard Barrel Wine Cork Art Cage

At some point in your post-college years, you have to take down all those empty bottles of beer on the wall, not pass them around, and put ‘em straight in the recycling bin. However, the college tradition of showing off that you are of drinking age (ahem) doesn’t have to stop there. Graduate on up to the Wrought Iron Vineyard Barrel Wine Cork Art Cage. After opening a bottle of wine, simply drop the cork into the hole on top. Goes perfectly well with that piggy bank you are using to hoard pennies so you can pay off those student loans.

Wine holder doesn’t try to stay upright

Grape Wine Bottle Holder

Perhaps after a long weekend, you have no interest in seeing a wine bottle. Then again, considering that wine hangovers are relatively benign, you may just be interested in having a spot to store those demon bottles ’til next go around. Such as the case may be, the wall seems a good as place as any. The Grape Wine Bottle Holder mounts to the wall and stores bottles horizontally with no concern for gravity. Hopefully not with the same lack of concern for gravity that was enjoyed on Saturday night.

***UPDATE: And they all fall down. This wine rack didn’t make it. Product no longer available. Might as well pick ourselves up off the floor and get started again. Or let these cute little Wine Bottle Holder Grape Gnomes do it for us. Cheers!

The Weeble Wobble of wine

The Rocking Carafe

Go ahead and get tipsy: it’s okay. This Weeble Wobble of wine will hold you up. The Rocking Carafe, available at Drinkstuff uses a silicone base to keep it from falling down. They say the “generous base encourages maximum wine oxygenation”, but I just say the 2.5-liter capacity carafe is the perfect accompaniment for those late nights. Two and a half liters is three bottles of wine after all.

Party like a Jerk with this wine dispenser

Vacu Vin Wine Tender

Boxed wine may not be the taboo it once was, but that doesn’t mean you want to look at the packaging while drinking it. Pretty much the first thing anybody who has ever bought a box of wine has done is look inside the box. (Well, maybe the second: pouring a glass is usually the first.) Lurking inside is a silver colored bag that looks like something an astronaut would drink out of. At this point the wine in a bag can be left in the box, removed for the sake of novelty, or placed in the Vacu Vin Wine Tender

While Navin R. Johnson may still have a leg up on you when it comes to enjoying wine, at least you too can now entertain in style. The wine dispenser comes complete with the ability to keep your wine chilled and your guests entertained for hours. If you’ve got a big backyard with Grecian statues, s-shaped hedges and three swimming pools you’re in luck, because this wine cooler would fit right in.
