Random: Not Just Any Whine Opener
Posted September 26, 2006 11:23 AM
Why are those fancy wine openers such great gifts for guys? This particular wine accessory gift set being a unique and cool gift as it adds personalization as an added touch.
I'm here to tell you why they're not only cool but also important. In typical visual fashion I'd like to share a personal story with you to drive my point right through the heart with the precision of a vampire slayer. I was koo koo for this girl that was so out of my league it was sick. Think Adam Sandler hooking up with Paz Vega in “Spanglish.†Never happen in reality, right? Wrong. I was with this hottie and she was into me. Long story short, I pull out a special occasion hundred-dollar bottle of vino and all I have to open her up is one of those three buck, made in China twisty ring opener jobbies. I twist with great vigor as I give her a wink. Perhaps it was my testosterone rising, but that bad boy twisted right off in my hand. That’s right, there was no way to get the broken opener out and no way to free the cork from the bottle. With the mood wilting like a dying rose, I immediately go into damage control and attack the bottle with great vigor with a steak knife. Had I not been racing the Viagra clock I might have taken a deep breath and figured out a better way. No such luck this time as I sliced open my hand in a most gory fashion. My night ended with a one-way drop off at the emergency room as she peeled away from the E.R. parking lot never to be seen or heard from again. That’s right, guys, obviously it’s personal with me, but if you’re looking for one of the best gifts for guys out there, I highly recommend a solid wine opener and stopper like this one that comes in a box that’s as well crafted as its ingredients. Remember, it’s better to whine than to screw up the wine. I’ve got the scars to prove it.
