As a travel journalist, I get a lot of free gifts on trips, and the most popular gift tends to be a bottle of wine particular to whatever area I'm in. Luckily, my parents are big wine drinkers (they like to imagine themselves wine aficionados); unluckily, they often don't have a proper place to store all their specialty wines.
Now, thanks to eWineracks.com's Bottle Bunch Hanging Metal Wine Rack, $44.98 at www.ewineracks.com, my parents can store their wine in style &8212; and without taking up precious counter or floor space. Made of metal with an antique copper finish, the whimsical grape-leaf-and-vine shaped rack suspends from any ceiling to hold six bottles of wine (and when it's full, I daresay it resembles a bunch of grapes).
The rack comes with its own extension rod and hanging hook, so all you need to do when you get it is hang it and break open that Shiraz.

If tailgating is your passion, but you like wine with your sports, problem solved. The Rapid Wine Chiller is both classy and convenient, and it's also the perfect way to impress your date or even your wife with your tailgating panache.
The Chiller cools bottles to the desired serving temperature in minutes without any guess work. A regular plug is great for home use and an extra-long, 12-foot DC cigarette lighter plug is perfect for road trips. Add ice cubes and water, choose your desired beverage temp on the touchpad timer, and the chiller stops when it's done.
Not really a wine type of guy? The chiller is also perfect for carbonated drinks, like beer and soda, and chills them to perfection: don't worry about foaming over or mini-explosions.
The silver bullet like appearance of the chiller makes it a stylish and functional gift for retired motor-home travelers, college football fans or even for your wife: present it to her during a romantic picnic in the park. For more information, visit winecoolers.com.

I am addicted to pretty food. They say we eat with our eyes first, and the way I see it, I must have good taste. Or the food must. Either way, if a dish catches my eye, I’ll give it a nibble.
Sadly, my own cooking results in, most of the time, your standard, fine-enough-for-consumption presentation (one can do only so many things with couscous, after all). So I’m happy to have discovered I can have pretty food in my own home without the fuss, or mess to clean up, thanks to Signature Days’ personal chef packages. For $140 to $800, food-lovers, or just busy moms and on-the-go professionals, in select cities can have a personal chef prepare five day’s worth of gourmet meals for two to four people. Chefs are prepared to cater to dietary needs with specialized (even organic) entrees and side dishes. For more information and options, visit www.signaturedays.com.
