misosouper, a shopping blog

On New Year’s Day, there will be 38 wine glasses in your sink.  Will you be prepared?

So you’re not going to spring for the $1000 wine dispenser, eh?

Typical.

Let me show you something that will make your wine taste (almost) as good, for 3% of the cost:   the Vinturi Essential Wine Aerator.

Just hold this little gadget over your wine glass, and pour; the good stuff will taste great, and the cheap stuff (what up, Yellowtail!) will taste good.

$6 bottle of wine, you just got an upgrade.  You taste like $10, at least.

My lovely neighbor, with whom we carouse quite often, only drinks white.

I only drink red.

At the end of the night, some of both bottles remain.

What’s a subdivision to do?

Before I mention the solution, let me mention the price.  At $1000, I’m not necessarily suggesting you run out to buy this for your favorite oenophile.  But the Skybar WP1000–with its space-age ability to simultaneously store, chill, pour, and preserve three bottles of wine–is definitely fruit for fantasy.

I suggest you split the cost with your neighbor.

As of today, I am 36+ weeks pregnant.

And this, part of artist Matthew Carden’s Small World Series, perched on the edge of a most beautiful burgundy abyss, is what I’d most like to do.

This writable slate clock lets you easily customize what time it is, which means that any hour can be wine o’clock.

It’s probably a helpful time-telling tool for children too, but that’s really not the point, is it?
