To my family’s horror…I like wine charms. There is nothing wrong with wine charms in my book. The way my house entertains, no one leaves my kitchen during cocktails. We have an island in the middle of our kitchen that everyone stands around before and then after dinner. The ladies, most of them, drink wine and place their wine glass down on the island. Before you know it there are 8 or more wine glasses side by side on the island! No one knows which glass is theirs and if you are like me, you do not have cabinets full of extra glasses nor do you want to spend all night washing them…this is where wine charms come in handy!
I have done lots of first hand research on this subject and have come to the conclusion that the glass, beaded, metal charms, while pretty and I have many sets, are not practical for the drinkers in my group. For one, every time you get to the end of your drink and tip your glass all the way back, the charm hits the glass and makes a clinking noise. Secondly, the charms that have themes i.e. dogs, flowers, wine accessories, sports teams, holiday images, monopoly pieces, etc are really fun to hand out to your guests, but I can tell you by the end of the night no one remembers if they are a poodle or a hat much less can they see the little charm on their glass. This totally negates the use of the charm in the first place. With those issues in mind I have taken it upon myself to find noiseless, easy to remember wine charms…
So now instead of asking “Is that my glass?” you can ask “What color am I?” Here’s to a wonderful long weekend – Happy Labor Day! Cheers!
Love the personalized ones… I would totally forget my color but not my name… yet!
these are GREAT!! and love your opener “To my family’s horror…” work those charms!
Those chalkboard glasses are hysterical!! For those who really can’t remember their charm OR their color!! Lots of fun ideas – for me it would be easy – everyone knows I always choose orange!!
