Drinking Gadgets
We seem to be finding more and more gadgets related to beer and drinking. As drinking is an activity everybody at CG seems to enjoy we thought it was only sensible to have a drinking gadgets section.
Combination Bottle Lock
Sipping on some wine is always pleasurable, especially when you want to unwind, and there is soothing music playing in the background. Of course, having a companion while doing so is also a good thing (for those who do not want to be alone but rather, prefer to be around people), but sometimes, it can be rather hard trying to estimate just how many bottles of wine can you and your mate finish in one sitting – too much wine and you might tip over drunk, too little and the “glow” doesn’t happen. Well, with the £14.95 Combination Bottle Lock, it does not really matter any more – just drink enough, and when you are done, lock your bottle up!
It is one of the more creative methods of ensuring your bottle of wine or spirits remain locked up from other “thirsty” people at home who cannot be bothered to spend their own money on booze, but prefer to freeload on your generosity instead. Once you set the combination, it is an effective bottle stopper, and I do not think anyone would be foolish enough to use the brute force method just to crack open this bottle of wine.
iPhone gets built-in bottle opener in Opena Case
There are iPhone cases, and then there are iPhone cases – case in point (pardon the pun), the Opena Case that will work with not only the iPhone 4, but the more recent iPhone 4S as well. What makes the Opena Case different from all the other cases that you have seen in the past? For starters, it will not come with “luggage” such as corny drawings as well as Swarovski crystals, but rather, will feature a slide out bottle opener made out of stainless steel to add that bit of “Ooomph!”. Fitting both GSM and CDMA devices from Apple, the cool factor is definitely something worth looking into. The asking price? AUD$39, and increase that figure to AUD$44 if you want to have it shipped internationally if you live outside of the US, Canada and Australia.
Drinking Extinguisher quenches your thirst
I realized something very true at the dinner table – no matter what kind of delicacies I shove down by throat as well as the array of drinks that slide down smoothly, nothing beats clean, cold water. There is just a refreshing feel to it, especially when so much of today’s food contain MSG that tends to induce thirst afterwards. Well, if you’re going to make sure the fire in your mouth is put out because you had one too many jalapenos in your pizza, how about doing it in style with the �17.99 Drinking Extinguisher?
Bear in mind that this is meant for drinking only and not to put out any fire in the vicinity – that would call for an actual fire extinguisher. Of course, this might also mislead the uninformed and clueless that it is OK to drink out of fire extinguishers, so make sure you influence those around you the right way. This drinking vessel seems to be the perfect thing to have around parties, and it will definitely put you on the cool list even amongst strangers. Each Drinking Extinguisher can hold up to 1500CC of life saving water – or your favorite poison, of course.
DIY – From Grape Juice to Party Beverage in Just 2 Days
Okay, there’s a couple of ways I can go with this post, I can explain the finer points of the German Federweisser (or young wine) typically made and consumed in wine making regions, because it used the grapes that were not good enough to be made into fine wines, and its fermentation process was also so quick that it couldn’t travel well and needed to be consumed in a matter of days, or conversely, I could simple say, where the heck was this when I was in college?

Bottoms Up Beer Dispenser – Sometimes faster IS better
How I remember Spring Break, the surf, sun and sand. Waiting in a line for half an hour for a beer. Waiting in line for another half an hour for a beer. Waiting in, ah never mind, you get the picture. Needless to say I think my time was split evenly between sunning myself and waiting for beer.
Well wait no more, GrinOn Industries has thankfully designed and produced the Bottoms Up Draft Beer Dispensing System, the world’s fastest dispensing system, able to fill your cup with consistently lightly foamed frosty goodness up to nine times faster than traditional beer taps, and it does it all, from the BOTTOM of a specialized magnet-enhanced disposable cup! Don’t miss the videos HERE.

AlcoholOmeter Glasses relieves you of thinking
Don’t you just hate it that one pint is not necessarily one pint? For starters, are we talking about an American or British pint? For those of us who are seasoned veterans at the local watering hole, you would know that having one drink is never enough, and the more beers we chug down, the more intoxicated we’ll become while losing control of our mental faculties by the minute. Enter the AlcoholOmeter Glasses from Firebox that does all the “thinking” for you, since it will let you know the equivalent of various volumes, including half a pint and others. It will also help you pace yourself better since you can have an easier time counting the units of alcohol in your drink without missing a beat. At £8.99 per glass, you can choose from wine or pint versions, depending on the poison of your choice.
Shot Gun for some pump-action glugging
Are you an avid sports fan? If so, chances are you would have stocked up your favorite beverage of choice (preferably something laced with alcohol) over the season to make sure that you drink by celebrating each victory, while drowning your sorrows with each defeat. Either way, you still get your alcohol fix, but do make sure you are in a safe environment without going overboard when doing so. For those who want to add more fun into parties or major sports events like the World Cup, forget about vuvuzelas – we have the Shot Gun here that retails for just £14.99 a pop, requiring no live cartridges but just bottles of liquor instead, as you experience pump-action glugging that will definitely burn your throat if you happen to be on the receiving end of neat tequila. One more excuse to get smashed, eh?
Ice Jacket ensures extremely cold drinks all the time
While we don’t have the technology to tote around a portable fridge wherever we go with minimal fuss, there is always an alternative in the form of the Ice Jacket. Meant to chill your favorite bottle of poison to perfection, it does so by encasing your bottle of spirit or other liquor in a dramatic layer of ice, making sure its contents are always served chill. This is a unique, one-of-a-kind product that’s fun and incredibly impressive. You are also able to create beautiful ice sculptures, thanks to the unique design of the Ice Jacket which will surely go a long way in impressing your friends while making sure the mercury remains low where your drink is concerned. Of course, it takes a few hours to get the Ice Jacket up and “working” so to speak, but the results are well worth the wait.
