Talk about this Grommet
Hello Daily Grommet Fans!
We are excited to be featured today at Daily Grommet. We know that as fans of Daily Grommet you have an eye for style, crave unique items, and as selective consumers it is important to you that you are purchasing from Companies that share your passion for socially/economically conscious manufacturing. Modern-twist Vinotagz are a great tool to avoid using "wine charms", instead you will have a smart clean design which is not only more appealing but also very functional. The storage box fits cleverly on the neck of a wine bottle making it a perfect gift to be remembered even after the wine is gone. Vinotagz are versatille in use, and can also be used as napkin rings. Modern-twist Silicone products are all Food grade, with food safe inks. All products are hand silk screened promoting the work of Independent designers. "Bringing art to the table."
U.S. and overseas manufacturers that produce Modern-twist products share our values in respecting the environment, workers and consumers. Modern-twist donates a percentage of the proceeds of all products to environmentally & socially conscious organizations. Ask about our "Giving Program."
Cheers!

What a clever gift to bring along with wine to holiday gatherings!
In the photos, Cirque and Hive look so similar. Can you describe them a bit more so I can choose between them? Thank you.

How clever! I love these - thanks for finding them, Grommet.
As you said in video, perfect on a bottle of wine for gifts.

Des, you're right and they are similar. Circles is a slightly stronger graphic and Hive is a finer line and straight sided hive like design.

I like that you can write on these. I have had other winestem charm-like tags, but my guests (and I) still seem to forgot who's the sled or the snowman! My husband also refuses to use them, thinking they are too fussy. This, he will like. Great idea!

Katherine, thank you for the large illustrations. Joanne, I still wasn't able to decide between the two, so I ordered one of each. One I'll save for home, and one I'll give for a gift. Adding these to the top of a bottle of wine as part of a gift is a brilliant idea!! Also...Sara sas you can write on these. With pencil or what? Can't wait until mine arrive. This seems like the sort of Grommet that I'll be ordering a lot of from your "catalogue" section.

Des - You can write on the back (non printed side) with a ballpoint pen and later wipe them clean. That would be handy if using as a napkin ring as well. The napkin ring could double as a place card for a big meal.

Kat. Two questions. I am interested in how you find the independent designer and what your arrangement with them is. Second, please do tell us more about your "Giving Program."

Thanks for having us on the Daily Grommet.
A couple of notes, you don't need to file the vinotagz back in the box after you use them, you just chuck them on the lid side in a stack and put them in your drawer. They are only filed inside when you buy them so that they can go over the neck of the wine bottle.( Can be annoying to file them away each time..unless you enjoy it (-: )
Also you can write with a ball point pen on the ones that have no silk screening, called the Vinotagz basic, or flip over your designed Vinotagz and write on the back( scratch on apiece of paper first to get the oils off your pen..and Voila..write away..)

Love those Vinotagz -- colors and patterns that are right up my alley -- and that slide-it-over-the bottle-neck packaging is sheer genius! And the write/wipe feature is a plus,as well -- who can "berember" who's color/pattern is who's after a few pops?!!
these are great design and useful. nice. what is your giving program?

I LOVE to entertain and get tons of hostess gifts, which I must admit, I chose to RE-GIFT! These I would not re-gift. Really fun design!

Used the tags at a wine-laden cooking class in my home last Friday night. REALLY helpful. I usually lose track of my wine glass about one hour into an evening...not this time. I did miss the instruction about writing on the BACK of the tag for the silk-screened ones (the ones on Daily Grommet). Take note...you can't write and wipe over the designs....next time I will use a ball point pen on the back.
