Wine Gizmos
There are never enough ways we can serve, store or delight in our wine. In fact, gadgets and doodads of all kinds keep our wine cool, pop our corks in a moment’s notice and appeal to our clumsy side by staying spill-free

When we went hunting for the latest in wine gadgets, we found one that chills your wine to the exact cool you need it. We also found an opener so stylish it never needs to be hidden behind the bar and a carafe that matches the most elegant décor.



Wine at the right temperature, just press a button

Enhance your wine enjoyment by serving it at just the right temperature. Thirty-three preset varietal temperatures eliminate guesswork—reds, whites or sparkling—simply place your wine bottle in the cooler and choose a preset. $99.95 at Bed, Bath & Beyond, several locations.



Cool is beautiful

Eisch’s new crystal wine cooler is beautiful to look at and easy to use. Just keep the crystal container, which fits into the center of the decanter, filled with ice and your wine stays cool. The “no drip” decanter also prevents wine stains on your best tablecloth. $129 at Egbert’s, 2231 First Ave., (206) 728-5682.


Bottle opener as art

The stylish stainless steel Penguin could almost double as sculpture. To use, just push down the lever, then pull it back up—out comes the cork. Opener comes with a foil cutter and an extra worm. $49.95 at Sur la Table, Seattle and Kirkland locations.
