Big Issue - #2 in a compulsive series

How about long straws straight out of the bottle?

 

[Fnaar]

Even better, forget the straws..

I find it's also useful to wrap the bottle in a brown paper bag. Seems to work better with Thunderbird, and other fortified wines. No need to dress up either, just wear your oldest clothes. And also great for al fresco imbibing, like on the edge of a dusty parking lot, or lying down in a skip.

We will bring our own. When is it ?

Due to periodic breakages, I now have 5 each of 3 different styles of wine glasses.
The thing is, that I regularly have people round to eat, and the preferred number ( for reasons I won't go into here) is 6.
Would you put 5 plus and odd one on the trable?
4 plus 2?
3 plus 3?
...or buy some new ones and bin the 5s to charity or less choosy friends?
Life is so hard sometimes, innit.

five for the guests and a special one for me, is how it works around ours.

Kill your 'friends' and make their skulls into drinking vessels like the Vikings used to. Matching glasses and more wine. What's not to like?

 

[Fnaar]

If I have odd glasses, I simply invite my odd friends. Sorted.

Stop shopping around for fuel, and buy it from the same garage. Hey presto! Matching glasses. Our cupboard's still full of petrol station glasses from when me dad was on the coaches.

You definitely should have your own special glass. The 'fancy' matching ones are for your guests. Yours should be larger. My favourite is made of black glass and has the advantage that know one really knows how much I am pouring into it.
