There's a lot of hate on straws recently, what with growing concerns about how much plastic waste we're creating. Many places are banning them entirely or switching to paper alternatives.
Which is great — as long as we take the needs of those with disabilities into account. It's not like most of us really need straws all the time.
There are exceptions, such as boozy milkshakes or some cocktails, but for the most part you're either drinking from the bottle or sipping from a glass.
Wine in particular is all about the right glass.
Mostly, it allows me to keep track of how much I've drunk, which is a pretty important part of drinking responsibly.
They aren't really made for it and are pretty heavy until you've drunk most of the contents.
Enter a new, wonderful kind of straw.
Hell, most of them are too short for a beer bottle or tall can.
But these ones from Always Fits are made specifically for use with standard-sized wine bottles.
Each pack comes with four straws, which is perfect for a pretty great girls' night.
The curved end means you don't need to tilt the bottle awkwardly to sip from the straw.
But being silly is half the fun of it.
Can I just say that I love that their model is wearing a comfy sweatshirt in the photos? She's not all dolled up; she's comfy and ready to chill. Woman after my own heart.
So why not have a little fun with your wine?
Plus, these straws could come in handy for non-alcoholic treats too. They probably work great in a big bottle of soda.
