Wine on Tap

I always thought of gas keg tappers as high-brow.  After all, they don't require pumping and can help preserve the beer inside the keg much longer than a standard party pump.  But apparently there's an even more refined "tapper" for the sophisticated wine crowd.  The Vin au Verre  - French for "wine with glass" (wow, four years of high school French finally paid off) - can keep up to 8 opened bottles of wine ready to serve at the perfect temperature.  Made by EuroCave, the storage system can preserve the wine for up to three weeks, meaning you no longer have to force your dinner party guests to chug what's left of all the open bottles before they leave.  I'm sure this luxury item will be of great use to some, but I'm sticking with kegs.

Inventive Thomas Edison Table

Thomas Edison once said, "to invent, you need a good imagination and a pile of junk."  That crude formula is certainly applicable to the creation of the Limited Edition Thomas Edison Table.  The tops of these novel tables are made from reclaimed floorboards taken from a recently torn down factory that was owned by Edison.  After being converted into a tabletop, the wood is coated with an eco-safe waterproof finishing, and then carefully secured atop a set of scalloped steel legs.  Obviously, Edison Tables will be offered for a finite period of time, and are sure to become treasured heirlooms.  Just imagine, your bowl of morning Froot Loops could be sitting on a board where The Wizard of Menlo Park once stepped.  These truly unique tables are available through VivaTerra, which offers a plethora of recycled and reclaimed luxuries, promoting what they call "eco living with style."
