Wine’s Popularity Coupled With Cocktail Craze Equals Great Gourmet Spirits Accessories

We have good reason to toast the ongoing popularity of wine and the current cocktail renaissance. Increases in sales of wine, beer and spirits are fueling consumer demand for gourmet accessories ranging from fancy glasses and chillers to decorative items like bottle stoppers and serving trays. Total wine consumption rose by ½ gallon per person in the past decade according to the Wine Institute. Similarly, consumption of spirits has been increasing 2% to 4% annually since 1998, according to U.S. government statistics. Regardless of what consumers drink, there is avariety of new and interesting accessories designed to enhance the imbibing experience. Salut!

Boutique Shopping

One of the coolest shopping days for many is browsing in a little boutique. Given the economic conditions, many little stores have gone by the way-side. I personally had to give up the ghost for reasons outside the economy, but my store has found a new home on the web. Visit for some of the treasures found in the boutique setting. You will have to "SHOP" to find the treasures, just as you did in the store. The reward will be some unique items that you will not find elsewhere. One of a kind towel bars, soap dispensers, and wall hangings just to name a few. Sneak into One of a Kinders, or Home Accents, then there's By the Piece in Bath Accessories.
