Also it’s even worse when the wine is bad

Some entreprenuerial spirit out there needs to invent Wine For Moms.  This would be a soda can-sized bottle, with a twist top THANK YOU VERY MUCH AND FUCK YOU CORKS, except somehow it would also include a fun bendy spirally straw for even more convenience.

Actually, I’m not a cork hater in general.  But you know, sometimes, you’ve had a day where you see a cork in your bottle of wine and for some reason it’s like a punch to the gut, like oh God why can’t my life just have a twisty cap for once?!

Know what I’m sayin’?

    HELLO?!?! When I had my 3rd baby my husband bought me the tiny wine bottles with twist caps. They are great! The come in all different kinds and brands. :) My favorites are Sutter Home & Barefoot. LOVE Barefoot!!!

    That’s why I like wine in a box. Put it in the fridge, it’s got a tap…may not be classy but when I want a glass of wine, it’s there ASAP.

    Baringer makes White Zin in those tiny little bottles. I see them all the time! Mommyhood has kept you too busy to notice little bottles-o-wine!

  • Tatiana says:

    Yeah, see, I run into the liquor store w/baby on one arm & grab the first bottle of white that looks good :P

    You know, it’s crazy, but I like corks. I worked as a bartender and waitress for years and I opened thousands of bottles of wine. I kind of see it as part of the experience. I actually did a presentation on the proper technique for opening and sampling a bottle of wine in a speech class in college. (I got an A.) Having said that, the wee bottles with the twist off caps are awfully handy.

    Omigosh! I love this — and I AGREE!

    @Cara: I do love the “ceremony” of opening and pouring wine…. most of the time :]

    @desiree: Time to start a wine revolution ;) Thanks for dropping by!
