I’ve recently attended a wedding of a Canadian friend, but I was the only one to smash my champagne glass on the floor, and I had more attention for that than when the bride tossed her flowers to the group of ladies! Ha ha…I really didn’t do that, but only because no one else did. Apparently that is not popular custom at North American weddings. At Russian weddings, everyone throws their glass on the floor to break it for luck. So, I thought that perhaps if this is not traditional in many places, the Russian Federation at least should make the top of the list for imports of champagne glasses, but I don’t know how to find out…

I’m hand-painting wine and beer glasses for my mom and dad for Christmas. My dad’s favorite team is the Vikings, so I’ll paint his glasses with that theme. (I’m not sure if I’ll do ALL of them Vikings, or just a couple. . .) Can anyone think of funny quotes to put on his glasses?

For my moms, I got fun girly colors with beads to put ont he bottom of each glass. She’s a wacky, crazy, awesome mom and I want to put some fun or loveable sayings on here. Know any?

Thanks and Merry Christmas!

I have a nice cut of meat and would hate to ruin it will an inferior wine. I have usually found a burgundy for a reasonable price in the past but all I could find today was a pinot noir. Should I wait and search for a true burgundy or will the pinot noir work?
