Wine Charms

So I get my Secret Santa gift in the office and it's wine charms.

I just don't get the functional value of wine charms.

They're supposed to remind you which glass of wine is yours at a busy party. If you ask me, if you can't remember which wine is yours or which coffee table you placed it on, it's time to leave the party.

If I can't remember whether or not I was drinking the Cabernet or the Chardonnay, how am I going to remember that I have the little light blue clinky thing on my glass as opposed to the little red clinky thing?

I'll just hold onto my glass, thank you.

In the meantime, I have the perfect re-gift.

I hope your secret Santa doesn't read your blog. Next year it will be coal for you.

Hilarious! My wife loathes those little charms. If she is served a glass of wine with one, she'll remove it. It should be a question on personality tests: "How do you feel about wine glass charms?" I'm not sure what the answer would reveal about us though...

If my Secret Santa is reading this, no offense. Wine charms are pretty. But I just don't get the functional value.

And yes, wine charm preferences would make a good personality test question. I think it would expose a difficulty remembering things.

For my wife, at least, I think it is a fashion issue: wine glass charms never match her outfit, whereas wine glasses always do.
