‘Tis the season to aim to reply a query as irritating as ever: What to get somebody who “has every part”? The reply, after all, is as frustratingly ambiguous: “it relies upon,” since at that time, you’ve been digging deep and rappelling over cliffs into the crevices of the person’s character, pursuits, and fascinations looking for a solution? The probabilities are nearly as lengthy and quirky as there are people strolling the earth.
However let’s slender the sphere a bit and since this platform known as Drinkhacker, let’s discover the world of people that, for starters, take pleasure in imbibing wine and spirits, and may subsequently take pleasure in some related accoutrements. Add in different novelty pursuits, and that’s the place The Wine Savant hopes to step in to ease your seek for “that reward.” Began in 2014, the Brooklyn-based operation initially aimed to create fashionable variations on conventional glassware for the wine drinker and rapidly digressed into, nicely, a rabbit gap of novelty designs (my cliff’s notes abstract of their raison d’etre, the authoritative model you may learn on their web site). They’ve greater than 140 designs on supply immediately, representing an unimaginable spectrum of choices — whether or not it’s shade and texture variations on conventional glassware or varied customized crafted designs.
As a bourbon fan and musician, I used to be tickled to obtain the corporate’s Guitar Whiskey and Wine Decanter to expertise for myself. I knew precisely what I used to be anticipating and what it regarded like, however I nonetheless had that “oh, wow, that is kinda cool” response once I opened the field and laid out the products on show.
After the “a-ha,” there’s a essential fork within the highway we’ve all confronted with novelty objects like this: Is it usable sufficient for day by day utilization or will or not it’s relegated to a bin within the storage solely to resurface within the shifting sale in your entrance garden. With this set, the glass itself is sturdy, and the design is tastefully balanced with simply sufficient to indicate thought within the design — providing clear traces and curves however nothing overly ornate. (Be aware the guitar decide embedded within the glass.) It truly blends in properly with different glassware, and admittedly I believe it has an ideal probability of truly being displayed and used on the common.
It will be unrealistic to adequately characterize the opposite 140+ designs in textual content, however a number of different spirits-focused decanter units that caught my eye and had me scrolling by way of my psychological rolodex of potential giftees included the Thor’s Hammer, Golf Cart, and Etched World choices. There’s additionally a beautiful and brilliant, hand-blown Mexican glass assortment.
These novelty decanters is probably not to everybody’s style, however I believed this choice was a delight.
