WITH POD ON THEIR SIDE
Bialetti has long been regarded as the
premier maker of the stovetop coffeemakers
known as moka — you know the ones, they
deliver a strong brew almost like espresso.

For those of us who prefer something faster,
cleaner and, well, easier, the company has just
produced the Mini Express. This stylishly
diminutive device can deliver espresso with
20 bars of pressure. And because it only
uses pods, cleanup is a breeze.

NEW RABBIT GEAR? I’M ALL EARS
Remember when Rabbit wine openers were state-of-the-art for getting to the good stuff? Well, the
company is still at it, as evidenced by their two latest offerings. The Rabbit Velvet Champagne Set
($30) includes a pair of pliers to make opening as safe as possible, and a seal that will keep the bub-
bles where they can do the most good. The Rabbit Bar Tool Set ($39.99) features stainless steel tools
like a double jigger, a muddler, a strainer, a bar knife and a bottle/can opener.

YOU’RE ALL WINERS IN THIS GAME
TO AIR IS DIVINE
WORTH THEIR SALT
Don’t just drink your wine — play with it! At
least, that is the spirit (heh) behind the new
game, Read Between the Lines. The game,
which involves writing the funniest wine de-
scriptions you can think of, requires no
oenophilic knowledge; in fact, the less you
know, the better you may be at it. In case you
run dry of inspiration, you can always consult
the Zin-onyms and Vocabernet cheat sheets.

We all know that wine tastes best when it is aer-
ated, but wouldn’t it be nice to avoid making
that funny slurping sound as you breathe in with
each quaff? Enter: The Aervana Wine Aerator,
the first-ever electric push-button model. The
clean design is clean and efficient to use as well.

A GLASS ACT
Keeping with a blue-and-white holiday/
Israel theme is the duo of Javier and Efrén.

These Mexican glassblowing artists use
traditional blown glass techniques —
blowing through a metal pipe while twirling
it with one hand — to create a whirling
effect in cobalt blue and white, made all
the more stunning by the slight variations
from glass to glass.

For those events when

free and dishwasher-safe.

Wood, stainless, Formica — it doesn’t matter — any tabletop is
going to be immeasurably enhanced during Chanukah by the
addition of this table runner hand-woven by the Guatemalan fabric
artist Miguel Hernández. He has woven in bands of concentric
diamonds in blue, aqua, black and white, and butterflies in blue and
aqua complete the design.
