"wine charms" news and stories

Several years ago, wine charms entered the marketplace and became all the rage. They were cute little doodads that you slipped onto the stem of your wine glass during parties, making it easier to determine which glass was yours out of the sea of glassware on the coffee table. I always liked the idea of wine charms, but in practice, I found them sort of fussy and far to easy to lose in the post-party cleaning up process.

I've always dealt with the problem of glass confusion by using my collection of mismatched glasses for all party drinks, wine, beer and soda included. However, last night I discovered another option that, I must admit, has got me swooning over glassware for the first time in my life. Check out these fantastic chalkboard glasses! Write a quick note on the glass prior to pouring and never again risk getting a swig of your date's drink instead of your own. I imagine that with a little chalkboard paint and some cheap glasses, this could also turn into a fun DIY project.
