KEEPING AMERICA ON TOP: WHOM YOU KNOW CELEBRATES AMERICAN STYLE INTELLIGENCE and EXCELLENCE with the Aveq Wine Glasses, Livliga Home by Sheila Kemper Dietrich

It may be nearly Monday, but that doesn't mean the wine needs to stop flowing.
Throughout the week, you should keep in mind just how much you are drinking.
Constantly measuring would be absolutely no fun, plus a social faux pas.
Discrete lines are the way to go!


You already know it's not who you know, it's WHOM YOU KNOW.
As we have made alcohol recommendations in our Champagne Wishes column over the years, we have also made comments about what you should be drinking it in.  What you drink your drink in matters.  The latest and greatest that has impressed us is by 
Sheila Kemper Dietrich: the Aveq wine glasses in particular, by her brand: Livliga.  Living well is all about balance and moderation, and her idea of portion control with style is fantastic.  Livliga is Swedish for lively, vibrant or vivid.

These are brilliantly crafted in the USA and not only are they beautiful, but also they are practical, and perfect to impose limits on your wine imbibing on conservative days to either four or six ounces. (Note: We are not recommending a limit of Star Vodka, also Made in the USA.  But if you read Whom You Know, you would never dream of drinking vodka out of a wine glass.)  We believe this is ideal for restaurants, so sommeliers know just how much they are pouring.  Restaurants, listen please!

The 10 ounce Aveq etched portion control wine glass boasts two discrete fill lines at 4 and 6 ounces.  It's elegant yet simple in its esthetic nature. Designed to go with all dinnerware patterns offered by Livliga, this glass looks like it just stepped off the Julia Jordan runway. It has not only been created to enhance your table setting, but also to support the Livliga philosophy of right-sized eating and drinking. The Aveq wine glass was specifically selected to be just the right size for typical serving sizes of wine as well as other beverages you might wish to pour into a wine glass- like juices or a spritzer. When these amounts are poured into the wine glass they look plentiful to your eye, allowing your mind and body to feel satisfied as you enjoy your drink. 

Now Sheila, how about Champagne Flutes?
The Aveq Wine Glasses of Livliga are absolutely brilliant in both production and idea, and recommended by Whom You Know.
Bravo Sheila!
And stay tuned for more great ideas Sheila has executed...
