Moleskine Passions Wine Journal

Moleskine Passions Wine Journal

If there’s one thing that separates the casual wine drinker from the wine aficionados, it’s the attention to details. For those who truly understand how to appreciate a fine wine, Moleskine has created a handy wine journal.

The first thing you’ll notice when picking up the Moleskine Passions Wine Journal is that the cover is stylishly embossed with a wine bottle and a set of glasses. Inside you’ll find plenty of resources such as a glossary, measures and conversions. Three ribbon place markers allow you to bookmark favorite sections, the double expandable inner pocket is great for storing notes and clippings, and the elastic band helps keep the journal closed. Included are six themed sections (Sparkling, White, Rose, Red, Fortified/Sweet, and Spirits) and six personalized tabs to customize as you see fit.

Not into wine? Choose your passion from other journals in the Moleskin lineup such as recipes, books, films, music, wellness, travel, style, gardening, babies, dogs and cats.

Sidekick Shot Glass

Sidekick Shot Glass

So your bartending skills stop at opening a bottle of beer, but nobody has to know that.

The Sidekick Shot Glass will make anyone look like they’ve mastered the art of alcoholic concoctions. Just place anything edible or food-safe in the bottom half, snap it onto the top half and fill with the drink of your choosing.

Need a few ideas for Sidekick additions? How about jalapenos, bacon, PopRocks, dry ice, a glow stick, or even an engagement ring. We’re sure you’re already thinking of crazy items that you could potentially place inside the Sidekick, but we’d recommend staying away from things that could blow the house up.

Prescription Bottle Beer Holder

Prescription Bottle Beer Holder

Boss being an ass? Grab a beer. Shot down by one too many girls? Grab a beer. Your team didn’t make it to the Super Bowl? Grab a beer!

Beer sure does seem to be the perfect prescription for many of life’s problems. That’s exactly why you’ll get quite a few laughs when you show off this prescription bottle beer holder.

Genius!

Bombs Away Shot Glasses

Bombs Away Shot Glasses

These shot glasses are the perfect companion to the bomb-shaped beer bottles we showed you earlier, especially if you have an affinity for catchy phrases like “Bombs Away”. They are made from double-walled borosilicate glass. The inner portion is designed to replicate the bottom of a cartoon bomb (though surely there are real bombs that look similar) and frosted to showcase your liquor of choice in the most attractive way possible.

It’s a great, unique gift idea considering Christmas is coming up! A no-brainer for any military-enthusiasts on your gift list.

Bosch IXO Vino

Bosch IXO Vino

Bosch has taken its line of electric screwdrivers to the next level by developing a corkscrew attachment. It has all the capabilities as before, able to tackle even the most complicated Ikea construction, but it now has the ability to uncork a wine bottle in the most bad ass of ways.

Plus, it comes equipped with an LED light to ensure that you will be able to see, even in the darkest of areas. A bottle of wine has never been treated so well.

The Bottle Bucket

The Bottle Bucket

The Bottle Bucket is an elegant ice bucket that has a built-in bottle holder.

The company boasts that this “revolutionary” product is a great way to not only preserve the label of your bottle, but is also a sanitary and efficient way to serve drinks and chill your wine, champagne or spirit. We knew there was a reason why this caught our eye (other than it looks cool).

A mirror polished aluminum finish with a clear acrylic coating is standard, but the finish can be customized or made in plastic.

Alpina Mobile Beer Bar

Alpina Mobile Beer Bar

So you really like your beer on tap, but you really dislike that beer on tap requires, you know, a tap. Alpina’s got your solution on wheels. 

The Mobile Beer Bar is exactly what you think it is, and so much more. It’s a sturdy four-wheeled compartment with a professional beer tap installed. Under the hood you’ll find a CO2 gas cylinder to keep the suds flowing, a refrigeration system that works to actually keep beer at the ideal temperature for several hours after being disconnected from power (for those hard-to-get-beer-to places), 8kg of ice storage, a waste liquid tray with glass washer, and one or two 30 litre barrels. And you get your choice of taps, because as a connoisseur, you don’t want to settle for somebody else’s tap.

And what’s a beer bar without food? Naturally you’ve got the option of installing a Paellero cooking top powered by a gas cylinder in place of one of the barrels. Which is it going to be, beer and food, or more beer? Decisions, decisions.

The Bräuler

The Bräuler

An authentic gentleman cherishes good, micro-brewed beer like he does a lively poker game with friends, and will take extraordinary measures to protect it from the likes of spoilage, skunkiness, and even thievery.

This is The Brauler: soon to be ‘another’ one of man’s best friends and what the inventors dub the “world’s first” stainless-steel growler. It features crack- and shatter-proof, stainless-steel construction; a precision-machined collar that’s interchangeable with included accessories such as a bail top, regular cap, Brauler handle, carbon-dioxide draft cap (for keeping that O-so precious fizz alive); a 1.75″ opening; dense-thread cap, and a light-impermeable enclosure. Yeah, your beer is your safe, at least in respect to taste!

Now keeping the Brauler out of the hands of jealous onlookers at the local microbrewery might prove to be a challenge.

Guitar-Shaped Swizzle Sticks

Guitar-Shaped Swizzle Sticks

Is your mixed drink just not cutting it for you? Do you need a little color and style to go along with that Scotch and Soda? If so, then you may want to consider the Guitar-Shaped Swizzle Sticks by FRED. The team over there specializes in the out-of-the-ordinary, delivering a decorative experience that will also enhance the flavor of whatever it is you are drinking. How can a swizzle stick pull that off? We were thinking the same thing until we got the lowdown.

The product comes as a silicon tray that you can fill up with your favorite flavored beverage. Pop it in the freezer and wait for it to freeze. When you return, you will have a frozen swizzle-treat that looks right at home in barware of your favorite amber fluid. Great for parties, because, well, you don’t have to go around collecting them for the trash, plus everyone will think you’re one of those awesome creative types.

Cool Shooters Ice Shot Glasses

Cool Shooters Ice Shot Glasses

Hats off to the guys at ThinkGeek for coming up with this rather unique take on the shot glass. One of the most annoying things about parties is the douche you call a friend, who ends up getting soused and throwing your favorite shot glass across the wall in a fit of unadulterated party animal madness. The irresponsibility of drunk people is truly a sight to behold, and it can really ruin friendships. Enter this quad tray of Cool Shooters Ice Shot Glasses from the knuckleheads we just mentioned.

All you have to do is pour some water into the tray, shove it into a freezer for about 90 minutes and then remove. These chilled shot glasses that are literally made from ice allow you to down a couple of ounces of naughty juice at a time, whether you’re just nabbing a straight shot or living on the edge with a boilermaker. When you’re done, you can set them in the sink and let them melt, or if you really want to get every last drop of liquor, break apart and chow down on the ice. Either way, happy drinking!


It’s free, and we’ll keep you up-to-date with all of the cool stuff we find! Cars, clothes, video games, movies, gadgets, you name it!
