It was about an study released last week by American academic Dr Liz Thatch, showing that french students and young people are turning away from wine.

I don’t really know what to think of this gadget. It’s practical, but like every gadget, do we really need it?
On the beach, in the park, on a concert, anywhere, this wine-glas-holder is a perfect picnic tool for new (wine)lovers. Okey, it’s not so pleasing on the eye, but it’s more of a trade between [...]

It seems like I’m starting this blog with only winegadgets, but I hope to do something more with this page.
With that said, I came across this very fancy decanter from French sculptor Etienne Meneau.
