Review of Old Dutch International 9-Bottle Antique Copper Grape Wine Rack

This was a seventh anniversaty gift, and being made of copper is its only real benefit.Two of the welded connections between the rings were broken upon receipt and it's light and relatively shabby in construction.

It's difficult to find a 7th anniversary gift made of copper, and to that end, this fit the bill.But its real value, even for the intended purpose, is very limited.

Review of Grand Cru 1600 Wine Cellar Cooling Unit (Black) (Max Room Size = 300 Cu Ft

The unit is attractive and well-manufactured. Description should be SURE to include that this cannot be vented to the outdoors.The installation instructions included with the unit give the wrong dimensions.Without careful measurement of the unit itself, it could be installed improperly.Cooling fine, noise level acceptable.

Review of Metrokane Zippity Rabbit Polished "Sterling Model"-Red EVA Case

I think the product description is misleading.I was looking for an all-metal rabbit - only the core of this tool is polished chrome...the rest of it is plastic.Misleading - the description should be changed to be more precise...only a part of this rabbit is "die-cast".For a "sterling" model I am disappointed.To top this off, the foil cutter outfit is also plastic! (ex the blades of course).I am appalled.

Review of Pedrini Wine & Bar ABS Foil Cutter

For the price this is a good foil cutter.It is your typical platic piece with the thin metal edges on each side.I have had many of these type of cutters and usually the thin metal cutting piece breaks.For the price this is a good cutter. I don't think it will last as long as a $20+cutter but if you are not too aggressive like my wife it will open many bottles for a long time. Will update if issues arise.

Review of Legacy Corkscrew (Antique Pewter

This opener never worked properly. It was rough to use, often broke the corks halfway in the bottle - or didn't remove them at all. Then it broke entirely. I upgraded this review a notch because the company finally stepped in and offered a replacement.I've had 2 other portable units of theirs break as well, but they replaced those as well. Good service, but they need to work on a more durable opener design.

Review of Wrap-N-Mat Reusable Sandwich Wrap, Solid Wine

Absolutely love the Wrap-N-Mat. I hated using plastic bags, they weren't cost effective, and they're bad for me and for the planet. I used aluminum foil for a while because it was slightly better and I bought a recyclable kind, but still. Nothing compares to the Wrap-N-Mat. At first $6-8 seemed a lot for one mat, but then I realized that one Wrap-N-Mat replaces about two boxes of Zip-loc. Worth it to keep that plastic out of landfills, and it's long term cost effective too. It's really easy to clean, I only hand wash it, and even with the fabric backing, it dries in a couple of hours (I usually wash it at night and hang it to dry). Because the inside lining is some sort of plastic (not sure which kind) it wipes down very easily between sandwiches, I wash mine maybe once or twice a week.

I expected all of the above when I bought the mat, but what I didn't realize was how good my food would taste! I usually didn't pack sandwiches for lunch because they'd start to go stale or would just get that packed-sandwich taste (which is actually sometimes chemicals from the plastic bags seeping into your food. How gross is that?), but the mat keeps my sandwiches soft and not quite like I just made it, but not too far off. Anything sitting for a couple of hours is going to settle a bit, but the mat really keeps your food tasty. One of my favorite things about the Wrap-N-Mat is that it folds out into a placemat! I love that! It's perfect for the office, I don't have to eat over a trashcan or use a napkin or plate, all I do is unfold and eat!

So far I've only wrapped sandwiches, but I'm anxious to start wrapping other snacks. I love my Wrap-N-Mat and I hope everyone starts buying them! Even just one mat per person works great.

It's a wrap! Wrap-N-Mat, a great alternative to the millions of disposable snack and sandwich bags used everyday. Wrap your sandwiches and snacks in these easy to use mats.

Simply place the sandwich or other snack foods in the center of the wrap and fold left to right, top to bottom and close the hook and loop fasteners. WRAP-N-MAT wraps keeps food fresh for hours. We recommend hand washing in warm water and air dry, WRAP-N-MAT wraps may also be machine washed and dried on low heat. Dimensions: Approximately 13 inches x 13 inches when open.

Review of Frieling USA C300871 Cilio Wine Sealer

I was looking for a wine sealer that wouldn't leak when the bottle was placed on its side. Many of the wine sealers were decorative and merely inserted in the mouth of the bottle. They did not provide the seal I wanted. The Frieling Cilio wine sealer "did the job!" It is easily put on and wraps tighly around the top of the bottle providing a seal that is very tight. I am very happy with this product!

Review of Wine Cooler

We got this refrigerator about 4 months ago and have really enjoyed it.We needed to keep the budget low and this fit the bill.We've had no problems with it, mechanically - it runs great, keeps the wine cool, and has enough room for our needs.When it arrived, the manual described variable temperatures at different levels of the fridge, this is not so!The fridge is all one temperature.Also, we keep it on the lowest setting and this seems good for our white wine.I wouldn't put reds in there and I wouldn't turn it any colder for the whites!

Review of Haier BC112G 30-Bottle Wine Cellar, with Contoured Smoked Glass Door

I hate having wines sitting out and waiting to be chilled.This is an awsome product and the price is great.Amazon has the best price on this that I have seen, over $90 more on another website.The racks are perfect for those liquors you need to keep chilled upon opening. I know someone who uses the racks to hold cases of overly expensive cigars.
Customize thetemperature settings to how what you prefer wines. For added security, you can lock the cabinet, which is nice.The top of the cellar is skid proof so you can open and serve your wines up top without the worry of it slipping off.Last, but not least, the legs are adjustable and can be used on any flooring surface.
The cabinet is a greatsize, but not to big to go in a small apartment, office or fit in a tight space in a kitchen.

Review of Jokari Wine Air-Vac Gift Set

I purchased this item liking the idea that the cork & pump is one piece. Unfortunately this item does not work, neither cork ever formed a vacuum seal. I'll stick with my reliable "Vacu Vin" which works every time.

Review of Waring Pro Professional Wine Chiller WWC300PC

The product seems to work as advertised, and might have garnered a higher rating save for one glaring defect (too noisy) that I'm surprised got past the design guys. Other than that it seems to work as advertised. But while it's working you probably don't want to be in the same room. I returned mine after trying it out on a couple of bottles of wine.

Review of Luigi Bormioli 5-Piece Dessert Wine Set

I bought the bormioli glasses for a gift, a shape and size that has not been easy to come by in my area. Although they look pretty in the pictures, upon receiving them, I noticed that they were not the thin blown glass edges, which changes the experience of tasting the wine. The price is somewhat reasonable but I was disappointed that the glasses were not of higher-end craftsmanship, like a Reidel or something higher.

Review of Vinturi Red Wine Aerator (Special Pink Edition

...especially if they like the reds. As you will note from the other reviews here, the Vinturi Essential Wine Aerator really does what it claims, and does it well. The purveyors at my local liquor store were showcasing this little device and I was surprised when I could actually tell the difference. It really opens of the flavor of a wine, giving it a better mouth feel and brings out the aromas. It also give the wine a smoother finish, particularly with tannic reds.

It would have garnered five stars from me but for some niggles. You have to be careful when pouring to do so at the proper rate to keep it full but not overflowing, allowing it to do it's magic. It also drips a bit after pouring so it and its little stand need cleaning afterwards. No biggie though. At $40 it isn't cheap, but just from holding it you can tell it is a quality product, and with this sleek little gadget, you won't need to decant your wine ever again.

Buy this pink edition to support breast cancer awareness, or even if only because you like the color. Cheers!

Review of Cooper Cooler HC02.C Rapid Beverage Chiller Tailgater 120V / 12V

Unlike some reviewers, I found that this product fulfilled my expectations completely.The noise while the Cooper Cooler was operating did not seem any louder than the noise a microwave makes while running.While water and ice must be added to the cooler, the amount of ice recommended will actually cool several drinks.Far less ice is required than the manual recommends if you only want to cool one, two, even three or four drinks.Additionally, the tailgating model's adapter comes with an extra-long cord so that you're not forced to sit in the front seat of a car while using it, risking spilling water and ice all over the place.I bought this product as a gift for my brother, but have had ample experience using his, and will probably buy one for myself.

Review of Haier HVDO24E Designer 24-Bottle Capacity Wine Cellar

Becoming interested in wine ?Have some better bottles that need to last through 90 degree plus summers ?This may be the product for you.It's inexpensive compared to many similar products and nice-looking.However if you are approaching "wine geek" status this may not be for you.First of all, when we assembled the door there was a 1/8 inch gap between the door and the unit leaving just enough air space to let summer humidity in.Fortunately we were able to adjust the door, but no thanks to the instruction manual.
Also, the temperature setting fluctuates on a daily basis probably too much for someone who is very concerned about a constant and exact temperature.There is also no humidity setting.

One other caution: to actually hold 24 bottles, you'll have to do some creative bottle arranging.Many wine experts say one should buy the largest capacity one should afford.With that said, you might want to spring for at least a 30 bottle capacity if you think you'll be collecting in the future.
For us, the unit is fine.If this model at this price had been unavailable, I probably would not have bought one at all. So, as an entry level wine cellar it is OK.

Review of Riedel O For Two Viognier/Chardonnay Wine Set

These are the real Riedel for a fraction of what they sell for in the store. The set comes with 4 glasses and the Merlot decanter. The photo makes the glass look gray but the glass is clear and gorgeous. I never usually write reviews for products but this was such a good deal on normally very expensive glassware. I am a huge fan of Riedel; they make wonderful wine glasses and have really started a trend in stemless glassware. It is a really different experience drinking wine from a stemless glass. This set is fantastic, I am so glad I was able to purchase it as such a low price!

Review of 13" Cotton Oven Mitt - Wine Labels

This collection from CooknStyle is superb. I bought several aprons, oven mitts, and pot holders for my wife for Christmas. As a woman who loves to cook and who loves to really get into the act of cooking, she has owned many aprons in the past. She has been quite impressed with the quality of workmanship from everything she received. Our only minor complaint was that not all lines carry all accessories, for example one apron only had the matching mitts, and not the pot holders also. But for the most part, CooknStyle has a wonderful collection.

In addition to a very nice collection, they also provide free shipping over $60. And I was very impressed with their service. I ordered late in the day on the 18th of December and had them in my hands on the 20th.

Great service, great products, great price. You can't go wrong.
