Let me say upfront that I am not a fan of beverage charms. Jewelry for stemware just seems silly, especially because most of the time the offerings look like things that you’re tacky aunt would wear—you know, cheesy enamel clusters of dangling grapes or a strand of dime-store beads.
However, beverage tags do serve one extremely important function: they stop the host from having to chase down and wash glasses throughout the party or provide double the glassware to accommodate guests who misplace their wine and return for a refill.
When I entertain, it’s all about what’s going to make my life easier, so wine charms are a necessity, especially when I throw larger parties. But forget the formality. Fun versions of the functional cocktail embellishment are the way to go.
Below is one of the least offensive options out there, even if some of the sayings are lame. And at $7 a set, it’s painless to partake.
Check back tomorrow and for three supercool ways to make your own clever and oh-so-practical beverage tags.
