The kid in me loves this; the wine lover is worried. Both sides are delighted, though, to have found this little gem — who doesn’t love messing with friends?
Don’t Break the Bottle is a wooden wine puzzle bent on frustrating porch sippers and dinner guests this summer. In fact, at $20 per puzzle, you could probably stand to stock up and start wrapping your “thanks for inviting me” gift bottles in this noodle scratcher. Before enjoying that lovely cabernet-merlot blend from Australia, hopeful lushes must first extract the bottle from the wooden maze cage (I’m not going to give away the secret, but it involves balls, ropes, blocks and pulleys).
For extra fun, wait ’til your friends are a few sheets in, and then hide the instructions.
