Wine Glass Holder Necklace: Hands-Free Wine, Always
Your wine glass, now wearable. Mingling has never been easier.
Picture this: you are at a party, holding a wine glass in one hand and a plate of snacks in the other. Someone offers a handshake. Chaos ensues. The WineYoke exists to solve that exact problem by letting you wear your wine glass around your neck.
It is ridiculous, practical, and a guaranteed conversation starter.
It may also be the most on-brand gift ever for the wine lover in your life.
How does a wine glass holder necklace work?
The WineYoke is a lanyard that loops around your neck, with a flexible rubber cradle at the front. You slide the stem of your wine glass into the cradle, and it holds the glass upright at chest height. According to the listing, the lanyard is about 38 inches long and uses swivel snap hooks.
This set includes two necklaces in pink and black, which makes it perfect for couples or best friends.
It works best with stemmed glasses. Stemless tumblers or oddly shaped glasses may not fit the cradle.
Because the glass hangs in front of you, you will want to be a little careful when bending over, hugging, or dancing. But for standing, mingling, and snacking, it is surprisingly effective.
It is also a great companion for events like wine tastings, garden parties, weddings, and backyard barbecues.
The comedy value should not be underestimated. The first time someone at a party notices your glass floating at chest level while you shake hands and hold a plate of cheese, you will become the most interesting person in the room for at least ten minutes. Matching sets for a bridal party or a group of friends take that effect to a whole new level.
When the party is over, the lanyard rolls up small enough to toss into a bag, so it is easy to bring along to the next event.
