Four mulled wines, three gulps of eggnog, two hot buttered rums, and a partridge in a pear tree raging hangover. Sound familiar?

With so many festive winter libations sipped and sloshed around the holiday season, it’s only a matter of time before some tipsy guest accidentally knocks over a glass (or three) — unless you’re the proud owner of a set of Aura Glasses, that is.

Designed with your clumsy Aunt Brenda in mind, each piece of Aura Glass’ non-spill glassware pivots on a high-grade stainless steel ball to safeguard your drink from accidental spills. This patented design also promotes aeration, thus making it perfect for wine. As an added bonus, these glasses make for some fun mid-party entertainment, as they spin ’round and ’round with the mere touch of a finger. It’s a win-win-win, basically. Read more…

Vineyards usually sit happily on country hillsides, way out of the city smog, but you’ll find a few urban wineries around the world, from Clos Montmartre in Paris to D’Augustine Vineyard in Los Angeles.

A new project in Sydney aims to take that concept even further by creating the world’s largest urban vineyard by “crowd-planting” vines across the city.

Australia’s very first vineyard was planted in the centre of the city in 1791, on Macquarie Street in the CBD.
