Favorite Glassware

Here are the wine glasses that I use every day, the ones I use for special occasions and my favorite decanter.

Most of my friends and my husband typically go for these glasses.
Luigi Bormioli Crescendo Red Wine Glasses
My favorite for every day... big enough bowl for red but works great with whites as well. This one won my blind taste test for the every day glassware.
Crate & Barrel Marin 21 oz Red & White Glasses
These are a bit more pricey, so we reserve them for special occasions, but OMG!
Riedel Vinum Bordeaux – Wine seriously tastes better in these!
Riedel Vinum Chardonnay / White Wine Glasses
Crate & Barrel Verve Champagne Flutes
Crystal Glass Decanter

Preservation, Aeration & Openers

These are my favorite tools for getting into the bottle, pouring and aerating your wine to open up the flavors, and then to preserve the wine when you don’t finish the bottle. Not that I ever actually have leftover wine, but if I did…

Coravin – Allows you to extract a serving of wine without actually removing the cork!
This is the best waiter's key... it won't slip out of your hands and has the right weight to it.
Grippy Soft Touch Waiter’s Key
Rabbit Original Lever Corkscrew with Foil Cutter
Vinturi Aerator with Sediment Screen
Wine Disc No-Drip Pour Spouts
Vaccuum Pump Wine Saver
Rabbit Champagne Sealer in Velvet Black Finish
Red Champagne Sealer with Aerating Pourer
Corksicle Wine Canteen – Holds a whole bottle!

Protective Measures

From protecting your wine from flying critters during the summer, protecting your surfaces from wine drips to protecting your stemware in the dishwasher… these tools are essential!

Wine Veils – I don’t like sharing my wine with tiny things that fly! These things are the bomb.
Chillable Wine Bottle Coaster
Silicone Dishwasher Stemware Holders

Glass & Other Wine-Related Cleaning Products

For shining up your glassware and removing lip prints, fighting the dreaded purple teeth, and getting red wine out of literally anything… you seriously need these. All. Of. Them.

No Scratch Stemware Scrubber – Has a groove in the center for rim cleaning
The Wine Brush – Another great glassware cleaner. Softer touch and holds soap inside
Long Decanter Cleaning Brush (it’s there, I promise) with Drying Stand
Microfiber Polishing Cloths
Go Smile Teeth Stain Erasers – They are tiny, effective, and freshen your breath to boot!
Oxi Clean – Makes red wine stains literally disappear from anything and everything. Trust me on this one.

Miscellaneous Yet Super Fun Stuff

Here are some more fun things that I just could not live without and needed to share…

“Jesus Touched My Water” Stainless Wine Tumbler
Barrel Cork Catcher Accent Table – Filling it up is really fun!
Heat Shrink Foil Capsules – For when you open an awesome bottle, but want to refill it and put it on display. No one has to know you already snuck into it!
