Crap of the Week - Wine Bottle Peppermill

on
Thinking that you need a peppermill in the shape of a wine bottle should immediately get the men in white coats coming round to your house, knocking on the door and informing you that you have a few weeks holiday in a padded room.

Writing the blurb to try and sell it, should make your holiday turn into a residency. The Wine Gift Centre says "Looks exaclty (sic) like a good bottle of Bordeaux, But is it? Same size and "feel" as a 75cl bottle of fine wine, this delightfully intriguing "bottle" will surprise and amaze your guests every time you use it. Great conversation piece.."

God how I hope I am never in that conversation....

If you lose your senses, you can get one here for £29.95

I have a set of these... Bordeaux for pepper and chablis for salt. The question you forget to ask is: are they good grinders?

And they are.

My friend, they are very very tacky, and while they may well be a wonderful grinder, are they really worth £30 a pop?!!!

For a really good mill, I'd opt for a Cole & Mason, retailing around the £20 and not looking like a cheap wine bottle!

Still controversy and disagreement is what I am courting.

At my table it is hard enough to keep them straight when they look different. After a couple of glasses sounds like it could be more of an irritant than a conversation piece.
