He’s baaaaaack…
Breaking Xmas ornaments with aplomb.
Clearly I should not be asked to get things from the attic. Ok, i’m exaggerating, my sweet wife got the ornaments from the attic, she just asked me to bring them in from the garage.

Yay! Finally!
Wife: did you know the dish washing wand doesn’t fit inside the white wine glasses?
Me: yeah, doesn’t fit. If you try to squeeze it in the rim snaps. That’s why we have the foam wine glass wand.
Wife: hmmm… are the wine glasses expensive?

An almost breakage story…Several years ago, I went to my cellar. There lying on the floor was a Cali Zin. It had fallen 6+ feet on to a concrete floor. The bottle was intact with a ding mark on the foil at the top of the bottle. A foil mark in red was on the concrete, The mark is probably still there, but is now covered with foam cushioning. This bottle was begging to be drunk and we obliged that night.

Funny, I shattered a Juge on my cellar floor a few years back. Man did that smell terrific the whole time I was wiping it up!!

Beyond category on the Alfert scale. I hope.
In Alfert lexicon, that’s Hors Catégorie (HC)!

My very last “everyday” wine glass. I’ve now gone through a six pack- broke every single damn one over the past five years. All I’ve got left is a single Zalto universal and some scattered Riedels. Gotta restock on everyday stems. Any suggestions?

I’ve yet to break a bottle. Wine glasses, however…
This was 30 years ago but the memory is still fresh. I don’t think I’d ever broken a wine glass when:
I was putting away 18 newly acquired Riedels along with the rest of our stems in a newly acquired glass-shelved storage/display cabinet. When I finished and closed the first of the 2 cabinet doors a couple of the little pegs supporting the top shelf slipped or broke, sending the shelf and its contents crashing down onto the shelf below, thereby shattering and/or knocking most of the glasses onto the floor where further carnage ensued. It all seemed to happen in slow motion. The sound of all that exploding crystal was deliciously exquisite. There were 15 casualties in all.
I’ve broken a single stem two or three times in the years since, but am unlikely to ever approach the magnificence of that one spectacular mishap.

Broke my first glass in months last night drying Glasvin Universals. They are surprisingly tough for what they are.
