Our friends over at Trends In Japan always find the coolest stuff. It really makes me want to move to Tokyo.
They found this really cool wine holder. It's made from wood and laquer, and it actually balances the bottle! The only drawback is that, apparently the bottle has to be full. That wouldn't be a problem if you drink a bottle at a time, but I can never manage that. It's made for the Kasane line by Yamakyu Urushi. If you can translate the Yamakyu Urushi site, let everyone know, and can you tell us how much it is and how to order it?

These have been around for years (and available in the US). You can usually find them where crafts are sold, and they are pretty simple to make your own too. Google "single bottle wine holder" and you'll find tons of links to them. Here's an idea on how to make your own:
