Review of Stemware Storage - Crimson Quilted Canvas (Crimson)

I knew buying online would be tough not being able to see the material up close.The cotton outside is thin, but comparable to others available.The inside is rather thin vinyl as well.I have a college degree, but there are no directions, just the picture on the front of the bag.You assemble the cardboard pieces in a grid and just getting them in tore a couple of spots in the vinyl.Simple...NOT! The cardboard is taller all the way around than the top of the case and you have to stretch the material more than is desired (and barely possible) to get it to close (see pictures), which didn't seem right.I didn't plan to cut the cardboard.My husband looked at it for a few minutes and after some fooling around with the material he got it to close.I unzipped it, got my glasses inside and when closing it, the zipper teeth bent and the zipper got off track. No way to fix it so I am returning what I thought would be a great Christmas present. More material is needed.

Review of Avanti 12-Bottle Wine Refrigerator

I think I have the previous model of this cooler.At the time I bought it, I read a few reviews where someone was mad that theirs was DOA, and a couple others who expected refigerator-quality cooling from it:they plugged it in and watched how long it took it to get down to 35 degrees. Guess what - it won't. The best the thermoelectric cooling unit can do is about 20 below ambient room temperature...Which is a lot better than room temperature for wine. Plus, since it doesn't draw major amps like a compressor would, I put mine on a small battery backup that I had left over from upgrading my computer's UPS, and the cooler would run for a couple hours when our electric service would be off for a while during storms, etc.

I've had it at least 3 years now and it's going great.One thought is that since the whole thing is electronics-based, maybe it really ought to be plugged into a UPS (or any kind of surge protector) to get the maximum life out of it.

Review of Riedel Vinum Bordeaux, Set of 2

I have owned Riedel Vinum Bordeaux glasses for a decade and love them for their size, shape, clarity, and elegance.However, I have stopped purchasing them.Why?All one needs to do is look at them firmly and they break.My wife and I finally made a rule never to wash them after drinking any amount of wine.Then we escalated to not washing them if we were tired or distracted.Finally, we solved this ongoing problem by purchasing Spiegelau Vino Grande Red Wine Glasses recommended by a friend.At initial evaluation they look virtually identical to the Riedels, but on closer inspection are slightly thicker although an almost perfect match in shape.The feel is similarly elegant.The Reidels have been moved to the back of the cupboard.After breaking 3 or 4 Reidels per year, we have not broken a single similar Spiegelau in 2 years.

Product Description:
One of Riedel's most popular stems, these Vinum Bordeaux wine glasses are designed to enhance the flavors of full-bodied red wines with high levels of tannin, such as Bordeaux, Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Rioja and Tempranillo. Introduced in 1986, the Riedel Vinum line was the first machine-made series of glasses in history to be based exclusively on the characteristics of grape varietals. The Vinum series has had a strong and permanent impact on the wine glass culture around the globe. These glasses have proven to consumers and restauranteurs that the pleasure of consuming wines starts with the glass. Developed by 10th generation Georg Riedel on the principle that the contents commands the shape, Vinum is great for everyday use. These glasses are made with over 24% lead crystal.

Review of Vinotemp 21-Bottle Dual-Zone Wine Cooler

This "cooler" does not cool below 54 degrees unless we completely remove it from the cabinet.We have vented the cabinet in the back and on both sides to release the amazing amount of heat this machine gives off and still the temperature will not drop enough to chill properly while in the cabinet. We bought this one to fit in a space from a trash compactor.You must pull out each shelf to place a bottle on it, you can't just slide a bottle onto a shelf.The appearance is quite nice and goes well with our other stainless steel appliances.

Review of Custom Decanter Cleaner, Vases, Cruets, Bottles, Cleaning. This product is guaranteed to work TWICE as fast as any other similar type product on the market. Specially Designed must look!! LOWEST PRICE ON AMAZON!

I absolutely love this.I'd been searching for a sand-like product that I thought I remembered existing at one time.Since these are much larger than sand (but smaller than you might think from the pictures--say half the diameter of a peppercorn) I didn't think they would be able to get everything.But they do!

Now, I've never tried it in a vase.I use it to clean the water reservoir of my Resmed CPAP machine.The brilliant Resmed design has absolutely no way to reach inside to clean it.Of course I wash it regularly, but that's not enough.I knew it looked less clear than when it was new, but I was really shocked to see how much crud swirled in the water when I washed it with these beauties.And I've been breathing that stuff!

I can't think of any negatives to report.It's a little fiddly to wash them and put them away after use, but with a fine-mesh strainer and a funnel it's not really any problem.And if you're cleaning a really large vase or whatever, you may feel that there aren't enough grains in one container.Either buy 2, or swirl for twice as long.

The Soiree is a wine accessory that fits into any standard corked wine bottle, and comes with an extra gasket that will work with any screw cap bottle; allowing you to pour, without dripping, directly through the Soiree.

The Soiree can also be used to pour the wine into a decanter, further expediting the "opening" of your wine. The Soiree has dimples in the glass increasing the surface area of the glass which not only agitate the wine, but infuse more oxygen in the wine. Soiree is a bottle-top wine aerator.Soiree fits securely into any wine bottle allowing you to pour, without dripping directly through the Soiree. By pouring wine with a Soiree, the Soiree creates an intermediary stage where the wine is infused with oxygen and then cascades into your glass. In using the Soiree to aerate your wine, you will notice the subtleties and character of the wine emerge immediately upon entering your glass. Soiree delivers a truly open wine just by pouring through it!

Review of Port Sippers (Set of 4

These look like cute little mice in my crystal cabinet. Unfortunately, I can't say much else to recommend them. We tried them out with a little after dinner port and quickly discovered the first drawback. My husband was petrified that he would bite off the straw. It was too delicate for him to feel comfortable using it. Second drawback became evident when I was cleaning up. I rinsed them well with hot, hot water but still felt a little concerned that the straw part did not get fully cleaned.

Review of Libbey Vina Wine Decanter 70 Oz

I just bought The Libbey Vina Wine decanter for my husband for a gift.He suggested another one that was somewhere in the $50 to $70 price range.I found reviews that complained that you couldn't pour the last glass out with out drippling and making a mess.That's not exceptable.I shopped in stores and found ones in the same price range that felt and looked cheap.We then went to a high end steak house that next weekend and our wine was decanted.It was a beautiful looking and sturdy feeling decanter, which the waitress had no difficulty pouring all the wine out of.I called the next day to find out what it was.I found it here on Amazon for $19.99. Bought it, and we love it.There is nothing cheap about it.It is solid, the top edge is smooth and it pours well.I didn't compare it to decanters over $200, but it is the best I found under $100.

Review of Black Round Wood Top Wine Cart - Homestyles 5450-68

I did not order this through Amazon. I came across it on another site for a ridiculously low price and thought that I would give it a try.

Review of 18" Utensil Rack

This kitchen rack is of thick and dense metal so it can hold a lot of weighty things, as long as it's anchored well into the wall.Yet, the screws provided were accompanied by sleeves which allowed for a solid hold on the rack above my stove.

The large-enough S-type hooks are quite useful, whether for pots, pans or utensils.My rack holds an 8-inch skillet, several utensils, potholders and a metal strainer.

Though I've only had the rack up for about three weeks, it's gotten lots of use.In that time, the matte black finish seems very durable and is quite attractive when set in contrast to my white kitchen appliances, but I think it'd look just as good with any color scheme.

In my book, this rack is a cost-worthy item since it does its job exactly as I'd imagined, looks nice, and appears to weather heavy use quite well.

Also, I bought the longer version of the same rack and have it hanging on an adjacent wall.I'm just as pleased with that purchase, too.

Review of Laguiole Deluxe Foil Cutter, Stainless Steel with Wood Handles

This is an absolutely beautiful foil cutter; no one should be surprised by that. However, it doesn't actually cut foil - it spins, it wobbles, it makes erratic gouges in the capsule, but does it actually neatly and cleanly cut the foil? Hell no. On the other hand, if the reason you're thinking of buying a foil cutter is to make bottles you serve to guests so ugly that they won't want to drink very much, this may be a good idea - it'll make even a bottle of Petrus look unappealing.

The Screwpull Patented 4 Wheel Foil Cutter - Black may not look anywhere near as good as the Laguiole does, but it works perfectly every time - if you need a foil cutter, try that, not this.

Review of Oxo SteeL Winged Corkscrew

I was pretty happy with this wine opener until it snapped off in my bottle of wine. Really, I'm not that strong to be able to do that. It was a defective product.

I took pictures of the thing and threw it away. When I tried to have them replace it, they said you must mail in the broken corkscrew (at your own expense) in order for an exchange. Frankly an additional trip to the post office plus postage isn't worth the hastle of a replacement, which I think OXO is banking on. I offered to send pictures. Customer service was pretty unhelpful. I would not recommend this product to others and will probably avoid buying OXO products in general.

Review of SEPSMWLIB3769 - Embassy Wine Glass w/ Round Bowl - 6.5 oz.

I was unable to find smaller and thicker wine glasses in our local stores.So, I ordered these glasses online, and they are just what I wanted: small and sturdy wine glasses.

The only negative was that I had to buy a case.

Review of Ultra-Break Resistant 17 oz. Cobalt Blue Stemless Wine Glasses (Set of 4)

My wife was very upset when several glasses of this set were accidently broken (they were very delicate and fragile actually).She really liked them and had purchased a whole set of dishes, glassses, etc. using this glass and they were no longer available from the store we bought them from.Fortunately, I found these break resistant glasses that matched the set exactly and now kids, wife and I can use without worrying as much about breakage.Only negative is that it took a week longer than anticipated to get them.

Product Description:
The HercuGlass process strengthens glassware the same way as Fighter Aircraft windshields. Depending on the glass design and thickness, our glassware can withstand bangs, drops on the floor, etc. They are not unbreakable, but they are the strongest glass products you can buy and will withstand abuse that would cause similar glassware to fracture. While care should still be taken with thin-walled wine glasses, these are the strongest glasses of this style that you can buy.

Review of Luigi Bormioli Parma 17-ounce All Purpose Wine, Set of 4

Two of the initial four arrived broken because of poor packaging.Amazon Customer Service sent another box of four, all arriving intact.

These are described as "All-Purpose" but are really large red wine glasses.They are heavy, and the bases aren't completely flat, so they rock slightly on flat surfaces.They do hold wine, however, and I guess that's the point!

Review of Bormioli Rocco Capitol Decanter

The decanter looks pretty good if you aren't expecting fine-quality crystal.It is a serviceable decanter at what I consider to be a good price.Be aware, however, that the stopper is plastic-wrapped where it fits into the neck of the decanter - probably good for creating a seal but you can see that it is plastic coated and not my cuppa.I did not expect it to be finely ground but did not expect plastic, either. Other than that, it is okay for the price but not for me.I would use this decanter for mouthwash - would look good in the bath and the seal is tight.

Review of Avanti Portable Wine Cooler

I ordered this product as a Christmas gift for my husband.It was delivered in the retail box with the photo/description all over the box, so it was a good thing I arrived home before he did that day.The worse part is that the product did not work.It registered that it was cooling to the proper temperature on the thermostat, but the wine was NOT chilled.Champagne at room temp is not good.When we contacted the manufacturer they replied that they had not made this item for 3-4 years and that they did not accept returns on second ownerships.I assured my husband that it was purchased new and we then contacted Amazon and the company from where it was sent.We were told to return it, but they did not want it in the original box - that it was sent to us in.We have returned it and are still waiting for a refund.Don't waste your time or money on this item.

Review of Wine Funnel Cascadia

These little aerating funnels work great!Buy a $10-$15 dollar bottle of red wine, decant it through one of these funnels, wait 10-15 minutes and enjoy a greatly improved product!It's amazing.I do taste tests with guests comparing the same wine (decanted vs. straight out the bottle) all the time and the verdict is always the same!!!!The decanted wine is MUCH better!

The only thing I do not like about this aerator is that the filter screen on the bottom is small and is loose, so there is a greatly increased chance of losing the screen.Also, the stand it comes with requires you to delicately balance the aerator on it's stem.

Review of Arched Oak Stave Wine Rack

Wow, this is the first swindle I've experienced on Amazon. The stain is slathered on, and only on the top. It looks like some 10 year old kid in workshop threw this together and no one told him sandpaper had been invented. It is horrible and there is no way I can use this in my home. A college student probably wouldn't even take it if I sold at a garage sale for $1. What was the vendor thinking? When I unwrapped it, my jaw actually dropped and I looked around thinking someone was pulling a prank on me.
