| SMART STUFF | ARCHIVE | BAR |..<.....4..5..6.....>.................................... ...USEFUL TIPS AND TRICKS Welcome to the Smart Stuff bar and drinks section with some of the world's smartest gadgets, inventions and ideas for bar and entertaining. Also browse the Useful tips and tricks page for some clever and useful ideas. ![]() Refrigerator wine bottle cradle. A bottle holder like this could be very useful in the fridge, since it would allow us to use unused space. It needs a grid fridge shelf, but most fridges have those. Available from, among other places, Get Organized where it is USD 1:98 for a pair. Marked down from USD 9:98. [Via] 2 July 2007 ![]() Wine taster's glass with nose cut-out. At first we did not know what to think. Is this for real or not? But after some research it seems to be kosher. Hammacher-Schlemmer are selling these wine glasses with the novel nose cut-out. And if you read the picture the same way we did, it looks like you are supposed to poke your schnozzle through the cut-out to really inhale the delicate aroma of the wine. But that is not the case, at least it is not the way H-S believes we are supposed to go about it. Their idea is that you turn the cut-out away from you when you sip. We still think our first instinctive interpretation is better. The glasses are USD 50:- a pop on Hammacher-Schlemmer. [Via] 18 May 2007 ![]() How to make really cool drinks. This is from Jonas S. of Creative Design, and we know he is just looking to peddle his own goods here, since his company is the one selling these things. But, since we know about it, we can take it into consideration. And now we have told you, so you know, too. After all, we must say that this thing looks pretty cool. We have been experimenting with freezing vodka bottles ourselves, but it has always been a bit of a hassle. You can hardly ever find just the right size for the water vessel; it is always way too big and thus it always takes forever for the thing to freeze. Now the IceJacket promises to make all that a bit easier. Just put the bottle in, lock the container, fill up with water and put it in the freezer. It is USD 35:95 plus shipping. 1 March 2007 ![]() New thermo glasses from Bodum. It's been a while since we posted on the first smart double walled thermo glasses from Bodum. The glasses must have been a success, since Bodum USA are introducing a new range of double walled thermo glasses. The new glasses are meant for drinks, champagne, beer and schnapps, and they are available from USD 9:95 for the cute schnapps glass (2:nd from the left) up to USD 24:95 for the tall beer glass. [Via] 8 January 2007 ..![]() Glass with ice-box. The other day we posted on the wine cooling staff from Leopold (below), we found on Formex recently. The staff is cooled and then placed inside a bottle of (preferably) white wine and chills the contents without diluting the wine. Here's a similar invention, only with a polycarbonate beer glass. The idea is you fill the tube with ice and water, plug it, and insert it into the glass. The ice will then chill the beverage without diluting it. The ice glass is available from Sporty's and will set you back USD 12:- for two. Via Book of Joe. What Joe did not mention, however, is that there is also a pitcher with a similar ice container available at the same place for USD 17:50 a piece to make your ice chilled beer kit complete. 10 September 2006 THIS DEPARTMENT HAS MORE PAGES |..<.....4..5..6.....> DEPARTMENTS | APPAREL | APPLIANCES | BAR | BBQ | BICYCLE | CAR | CHILDREN | COMPUTERS/TELECOM | CULTURE | DVD | EDIBLES | ENVIRONMENT | FLASHLIGHTS/TORCHES | FOOTWEAR | GARDEN | HOME | INTERNET | INVENTIONS A-Z | KITCHEN | KITCHEN FURNITURE | LEISURE | LINKS | META | MISC. | MOTOR CYCLES | OUTDOORS | PETS | PERSONAL CARE | PHOTOGRAPHY | READER'S CHOICE | SAFETY AND SECURITY | SERVICES | SMART STUFF aSTORE | SOLAR POWER | SOUND AND MUSIC | SWEDISH | THIRD WORLD | TRAVEL | TOOLS | VIDEO | WATER | WORK TIPS AND TRICKS | APPAREL | BAR AND DRINKS | BICYCLE | CAR AND DRIVING | COMPUTERS | CULTURE AND LEARNING | GARDENING | HOME | INTERNET | KITCHEN AND COOKING | OUTDOORS | PETS | TRAVEL | WORK AND BUSINESS Did you find the information on this site useful?
