RIP SkyMall, purveyor of random wine stuff
Forget the ECB–the big business news of the day is that the parent company of SkyMall has filed for bankruptcy! Yes, the catalogue found “in the seat back in front of you” that peddled bizarre but somehow captivating objects is on a ground stop that may really be interminable. SkyMall loved pets–everything you never thought you needed for Fido and Whiskers. But they equally loved wine! So here, we immortalize for the ages some of that random wine stuff! Long live SkyMall wine in all its awesomeness!
Pets (animals) + wine! Amazed the pages didn’t spontaneously combust since this is such SkyMall hotness!
Apparel for your wine
Yes, a wine sippy cup!

I hope I haven’t read my last copy. Dr. Vino blogged about his favourite mad wine-related items from SkyMall. […]
