Need a Way to Keep Your Wine Glass Steady at the Beach? Steady Sticks for Your Wine Glasses and Bottle

You are on a white, sandy beach. The rays of sun are tanning you and also somehow manage to fill you with a happiness that could not possibly be accomplished by sitting on a snowy mountaintop. The waves keep rolling in at an almost hypnotic rate. Each breath you take fills your nostrils with the sweet, seductive smell of coconut lotion. You have your sunscreen on, music playing, and good books to read.

There is still a void to be filled. Something is missing. What is it? The weather is perfect. The water is the most tranquil shade of blue that you have ever seen. It isn't time to re-apply the sunscreen yet. The CD player is still going and the music is both relaxing and fun. You have got both classic literature and a trashy novel in your beach tote. Either book will provide you with enjoyment; whether it is naughty or nice will be up to you.

You have a thirst. The thirst is not that unquenchable, cottonmouth kind of thirst. It is a craving. This day at the beach is borderline perfection and it needs to be toasted. You can't toast this day with a diet coke or bottled water that can be bought from a vendor. This day needs to be toasted and sipped slowly. The only beverage that will do this day justice is your favorite wine. Who doesn't love to eat and drink with friends while you soak up some fun under the sun? Or is it that you soak up the sun while having fun?

This is where a small problem presents itself on your magical day. Drinking your wine straight out of the bottle is not an option. You can't bring yourself to doing something so devoid of class. That action would degrade both you and your delicious, crisp white wine (or your dry, rich red wine). How does one safely balance a delicate glass of wine on the sand?

Here is what you've been waiting for. The answer lies in the ingenuous Steady Sticks bottle and wine glass holders. The very clever and stylish holders are made from a sturdy, weather resistant stainless steel. The heavy-gauge holders allow them to be embedded at the beach (or in a grassy patch making them perfect for park picnics too). No assembly is necessary. Just plunge your Steady Sticks in the sand and place your delicious glass of wine into the steady holder. It is really that easy. They will keep a firm hold of your glass of Pinot Grigio, leaving you to worry about other stuff, like... where is the next bottle...?

Steady Sticks can be purchased from various retailers on the internet. Some web sites where I found that Steady Sticks are: amazon.com, chefsresource.com, wineenthusiast.com, kitchenconservatory.com, winecompliments.com, and drinkstuff.com. Each site presented various Steady Sticks sets for purchase and the price varied. Some of the sets were comprised of just the drinking glass holders (always being a set of two, from what I found). I found that the bottle holder could be purchased separately from the glass holders. My personal favorite would be the all-in-one sets which included the bottle holder and two drinking glasses. Although the pricing varied from site to site, I found a set of two glass holders for $8.99 plus shipping. One site had the full set of two glass holders and one bottle holder for $24.95. Depending on where you decide to purchase your Steady Sticks from, your investment could be under ten dollars.

If wine isn't your thing and you prefer some bubbly, most of the sites boasted that the Steady Sticks also accommodate champagne glasses as long as they have a stem (I didn't know there are champagne glasses without stems).

Steady Sticks are perfect for outdoor entertaining. Steady Sticks would also make a perfect gift for the wine lover in your life. Steady Sticks are such a clever and unusual idea that probably few people are aware of them. Picking out a bottle of wine as a gift can be stressful and Steady Sticks make getting a thoughtful and unique gift for the wine lover in your life so much easier.

Order your set of Steady Sticks today and get to the beach. Steady Sticks add that something special to your perfect day. Enjoy!
