Sometimes it’s not enough to be a committed adult beverage drinker. Sometimes, to be considered a true “Wino,” you just have to go that extra mile. Now, there are many ways you could go about expanding your fermented grape horizons. You could become one of those cork smelling, sherry swilling, and alcohol spitting drinkers. But come on, where’s the fun in that? Yeah, it might seem like fun for awhile, but the novelty wears off when you realize that no one cares about your useless wine knowledge. In fact, I’m gonna come right out and say it: you’re pretentious. It hurts, I know, but I’m here to tell you that there’s a better way to enjoy your favorite brand of liquid courage. So pour a glass, sit down, and shut up.
Not only do you get to enjoy a glass of wine with the Glass Tank (Generate Design, $339.00), but you also get to look totally boss while doing it. Now, I know this contraption may look a little strange at first glance, so let me talk you through it. You fill up the wine goblet and its little spare tank until the spare tank is full. The awesome thing about this gadget is that the wine never overflows the glass. No really, I mean it! The balance between the air pressure and water pressure keeps the wine at a constant level within the glass. Basically, it’s like walking around with a bottle of wine and a glass, except conveniently all in one. Not only do you not have to worry about carrying around a whole bottle of wine, but you don’t even have to bother refilling your glass because it’s done for you automatically. Pretty nifty, eh?
My one little issue with this personal Maitre d’ is that I would be afraid on constantly bonking myself in the face with the spare tank. I mean, I understand that the angles have to be just so in order for the tank to be fully operational, but I’m just looking at this from a heavy drinking standpoint. Just how many glasses of wine do you think you can have before you’re hitting yourself in the face? Well, you better figure it out before you start. A goose egg on the forehead is not pretty, my friends. I speak from experience.
3 out of 5 stars.
