Wine-Trax Glasses: Discreetly Measure Your Drink

Unlike beer, which comes in its handy one-bottle packaging, wine calories can be a bit tough to keep track of. After all, plenty of balloon or large wineglass fit 18 ounces of wine or more. And while you probably won’t be filling those glasses up to the brim, even at half full you’re racking up more than 250 calories. Here’s the math: Five ounces of wine is about 125 calories, double is 250, and if you continue on after the one glass, you can see how calories will quickly add up. (Not to mention the tendency of many to become more “generous” with the portions!) To the rescue come these wineglasses from Wine-Trax. The satin etch finished rings around each glass mark 4-, 6- and 8-ounce portions of your favorite vino, and make it easier to keep track of exactly how many calories you imbibe so you can cut yourself off after the appropriate amount. Cost: $35 per tube of 2 glasses or $120 per carton of 12.
