(Amazon)

Keeping track of which wine glass is yours has never been more important than it is now.

There's nothing more embarrassing than picking up a glass that you think is your Pinot Noir, only to find that it's your vampire aunt Zelda's pig's blood, or the berry juice that uncle Billy likes to spike with rotgut vodka. And don't even get me started on some of the things that I have confused with Sauvignon Blanc.

Possible solutions are manifold. You could give everybody a different shaped glass, but that lacks a certain class. You could put little sticky labels on each glass, but you will quickly run out of colors.

My wife and I have the system of sticking an elastic band around my glass, but there's just the two of us and we're total barbarians.

These Monopoly wine charms, available from the intruigingly, but ultimately inaccurately-named Amazon, are a classy, game-related fix for all of your wine memory problems. In a pinch, they can also be used to replace regular Monopoly tokens if you lose the little dog and somebody insists that they have to be the little dog or they're not playing.
