Spot-Not: A Decanter Cleaner That Works

Everyone knows it is impossible to properly dry and polish the inside of a decanter – until now! Spot-Not is easy to use and so effective. The Spot-Not decanter dryer has two main parts: a drying cloth that goes into the decanter and a drying mitt for the outside. Magnetic bands draw the two parts together – when you move the outer mitt, the inside cloth moves along with it, drying and polishing the inside of the decanter. The results are nothing short of miraculous! Decanters, carafes and even vases you were embarrassed to use are suddenly restored to being your pride and joy.

Spot-Not comes in retail-friendly packaging and master packs of 12, so it is really easy to buy. CDU packaging is available, and an opening trial order sample pack with free shipping is available.

Spot-Not is a product of the Wine Lovers Group, which also offers the amazing, handblown wine glasses of Bottega del Vino Crystal – a world class line of beautiful, wine driven stemware that is light, strong and 100 percent dishwasher safe. Wine Lovers is introducing its new decanter drying rack, The Swan, that folds up to save space when not in use.

Zephyr Debuts Presrv Single, Double Wine Coolers

Zephyr has introduced Presrv – the company’s first collection of wine and beverage coolers. After more than 20 years of leading the kitchen ventilation hood industry, Zephyr president Luke Siow saw an opportunity to combine his love for wine with his passion for product design and technology. The Presrv Dual Zone and Single Zone Wine Coolers combine sophisticated home beverage service with superior craftsmanship, and features that challenge the most luxurious wine refrigerators on the market.

Zephyr Noise and vibration are kept at a minimum with a vibration dampening system to prevent wine disturbance.
The large capacity 24-inch Dual Zone Wine Cooler maintains two distinct temperature zones with PreciseTemp™ temperature control and Active Cooling Technology. This prevents hot and cold pockets and maintains a consistent and even temperature throughout the entire cavity. Wine collectors can store their favorite red and white bottles and ensure they will be at the optimal temperature when it comes time to open and serve.

All Presrv models feature a sleek stainless-steel profile with dual-pane, Low-e Argon-filled Glass. The units can be installed under-counter to blend in with kitchen appliances, or freestanding alongside furniture. A 24-inch Single Zone Wine Cooler is also available, ideal for side-by-side red and white wine storage, or those that prefer to keep a single varietal at one temperature. The Dual and Single Zone Wine Coolers both have a temperature range of 40 to 65 degrees Fahrenheit.

Full Extension black wood racks glide out effortlessly to showcase every bottle, and 3-color LED lighting in Cloud White, Deep Blue, and Amber add ambiance. Additional features include Door Open Alarm, Electronic Capacitive Touch Controls, Pro-Style Handle option, and Field Reversible Doors.

For more than 20 years, Zephyr has transformed the ventilation industry with design, discovery and care, and played an integral role in kitchen design trends. The company has challenged the perception of what ventilation means in kitchen design and created a new awareness of the importance of a high performing ventilation system.

Kudos Coaster Plus Reinvents Medal Displays

The Kudos Coaster Plus allows race finishers to encase and display a medal while using it as a coaster. The Kudos Coaster Plus combines form and function to securely fit most medal shapes and sizes.
Kudos Coaster Plus“I wanted to create a better way to store and feature the race medals I’ve collected over the years,” said Kudos Founder and President Ryan DeBoer. “I worked hard for and am proud of them, and my friends were just tossing them in shoeboxes where they sat unnoticed for years. The Kudos Coaster Plus allows people to showcase their medals in a functional and simple way.”
DeBoer began the entrepreneurial venture in 2012 by pouring clear epoxy resin into plastic molds to encase his race medals. Over the next six years and with additional research, analysis and product development, the Kudos Coaster Plus evolved into its current form.
More compact and less expensive than display cases or wall-mounted frames, the $20 product features a clear, removable acrylic top and a polyurethane base providing stability and grip. Colored Tru-Fit inserts allow users to pick a backdrop that complements their medal, and the inserts can be removed to accommodate medals of varying thicknesses.
Every year, millions of people around the world participate in races ranging from 5k runs to triathlons, and the Kudos Coaster Plus provides a new option for medal display. The product can also be used to display artwork, photos and other cherished keepsake items.
Kudos is a registered trademark of RLRD, LLC. The company helps people share, preserve and display their memorable accomplishments with pride. The company approaches old things in new ways by producing inexpensive, quality-built products that combine form and function.
