All you have to remember is to put it in the freezer and then wrap the Velcro closure around your favorite bottle of wine. </p>

<p>It&#8217;s not the first thing that comes to mind, but a buckle can be turned into a bottle opener. Or a <a href="http://alchemygoods.com/reopener.html"><strong>Bottle ReOpener</strong></a>, in this case.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s 100% recycled by weight by local blacksmiths, so maybe the eco and local factors make it worth $18. But although it&#8217;s a cool idea, I&#8217;m not very sure about the price.</p>

<p>But if you insist&#8230; the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001ECS3J8?ie=UTF8&#038;tag=s2999com-20&#038;linkCode=as2&#038;camp=1789&#038;creative=390957&#038;creativeASIN=B001ECS3J8"><strong>Klean Kanteen Wine Carafe</strong></a> is what you need. This stainless steel container can hold a regular 750 ml bottle without leaking and it promises not to alter the taste of wine.</p>
<p>Pour it in and you&#8217;re all set, you can even go hiking with it in the backpack if you want (though why anyone would do that is beyond me). </p>
<p>The one thing I do appreciate about the idea is the lid: no more need to carry around a corkscrew and an extra cap.</p>

<p>A nice bottle of sparkling wine <em>with gold flakes</em>. Yes, that&#8217;s real gold, and yes, it can scratch your throat a bit, but what&#8217;s a bit of pain between a man and some precious metal?</p>
<p>The <a href="http://www.awin1.com/cread.php?awinmid=550&#038;awinaffid=76124&#038;clickref=cuvee&#038;p=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.firebox.com%2Fproduct%2F2265%2FSparkling-Gold-Cuvee" onmouseover="self.status='http://www.firebox.com/product/2265/Sparkling-Gold-Cuvee'; return true;" onmouseout="self.status=''; return true;" target="_top"><strong>Sparkling Gold Cuvee</strong></a> is like a snow globe with alcohol instead of water and 22 carat gold instead of plastic flakes. Which means that, aside from the &#8220;whoa, gold!&#8221; effect, it also looks impressive from a purely aesthetic point of view (in translation: you&#8217;re going to shake it to death before actually drinking it).</p>
<p>The affordable option is the 200 ml bottle at $15, but there&#8217;s also a 750 ml bottle at a hefty $37. How special is that special occasion again?</p>

<p>First up, make sure it&#8217;s not the kind of party where people just get drunk and pass out on the floor, and inquire about the state of the liquor cabinet. If it seems to have a wide variety of drinks, you&#8217;re set: get a set of <a href="http://www.organize.com/recipe-playing-cards-blue.html"><strong>Drinxx Recipe Playing Cards</strong></a> and make a lot of people happy.</p>
<p>Yes, playing poker might not be everyone&#8217;s favorite activity, but when you&#8217;ve got 52 cards, each with its own cocktail recipe, the possibilities are endless. The makers took the most distructive into consideration&#8230; and made the cards waterproof.</p>

<p>They meant it when they called it a gun: it&#8217;s shaped like a pistol, although it won&#8217;t kill anyone&#8230; but someone could end up passed out on the floor, because it&#8217;s the perfect tool to direct a stream of beer at a thirsty man&#8217;s mouth.</p>
<p>The &#8220;shots&#8221; part is innacurate, though; a shot is small, but this is made for serious drinking.</p>
<p>There&#8217;s no need for special preparation: it screws onto any regular bottle. Let the boozing begin!</p>

<p>A regular opener isn&#8217;t such a big deal, but you need to remember to bring it along, which is too much trouble.

<p>The hat&#8217;s ok (especially for fans of the brand), but would you be want to be seen in public with a <em>bottle opener</em> on your <em>head</em>? Might as well wear a sign with &#8220;I&#8217;m a ancoholic dork&#8221; while you&#8217;re at it. (Suuure, it&#8217;s for Coke&#8230;)</p>
