Product of the Day: Wine Trax Measuring Glasses

From working at Behind the Burner, I must say my wine expertise has improved immensely, but it doesn't take a sommelier to spot a basic wine faux-pas, such as never filling your wine to the top of your glass.

But outside of wine know-how, it still takes work and self control to tame your booze intake, especially when it comes to vino. Yet why do the work of measuring perfect pours when you can have a glass that does it for you? It sounds lazy, but these glasses are actually a kitchen cupboard miracle.

Wine Trax Glasses are made with measuring lines on the bowl, which first appear as an elegant decoration. Instead, each line actually signifies how much you are drinking— whether it's 4, 6 or 8 ounces. I'm all for reaping the health benefits of antioxidant-rich red wine, but it's important to know how much you actually are consuming before you down about 3 bottles in just one sitting.

Tip: These glasses are also perfect for cooking with wine. Avoid measuring cups and use these when using wines for pasta sauces or braising liquids.
