Wine Charms are Back


In your eternal efforts to be the ‘Hostess’ or ‘Host’ with the ‘Most-ess’ or the ‘Most’, perhaps it’s time to resurrect a little novelty trinket that has been around since 1998 but is now experiencing a re-vamp? If you’re not familiar with the concept of wine charms, then just think back to your last dinner party, where after putting down your wine glass to sample the latest foam topped canapé you turned back to your glass and found 4 identical glasses all looking the same except some were fuller than others. The ‘Wine Charm’ helps your guests identify their own glass with a personalised little charm that dangles from the foot of the stem. Now you can of course make your own beaded wine charms, or make charms out of crocheted wire, or you can take the easy way out and buy them in cheap boxed sets, usually from china OR at www.evilmadscientist.com (A place that is proudly making the World a Better Place, One Evil Mad Scientist at a Time) you can learn how to create your own extra-snazzy ‘Wine Charms’ out of electronic components. They look great, are easy to make, cost next to nothing, and make great conversation pieces....apparently.
