Gifts for the wine drinker in your life who can't stop breaking glasses
All wine should be drunk out of sippy cups. Whether you choose to embrace or reject that truth is on you.
The older we get, the more it comes clear that mankind simply wasn't designed to drink out of wine glasses. Humans are far too uncoordinated to hold onto a wine glass without putting its precious little life at risk. Chances are you, or someone you care about, has broken a wine glass on at least a dozen occasions.
I know it's hard to believe, but we don't have to live in fear of our wine glasses. Together, we can build a better happy hour.

Quality white T-shirts are a precious commodity. Treat them with respect and Oxiclean.

Hands down the best tool for cleaning up broken glass is a potato cut in half. You use the flesh of the tuber to pick up loose shards.
