Anti-kews for Christmas

[hotwine]

A couple of very nice Christmas presents: from wife, a two-bottle wine butler, probably early 19th c., with lead buckets as inserts for holding ice; and from SIL, an 1840's corkscrew with rosewood handle and little boar's bristle brush, for cleaning a wine bottle's mouth. Very thoghtful gifts and much appreciated.

Those sound pretty darned nice. No wine toys here except for pocket screwpulls -- they always seem to break or disappear.
