A glass act

Summertime … and the sippin’ is easy with this bamboo wine tray from Sur la Table. Just big enough to hold a snack and two wineglasses, this little gadget will save your stemware and your wine – who hasn’t cracked a wine glass in their backyard? It costs $19.95 and is available at www.surlatable.com (item No. 453720) or by calling (800) 243-0852.

Cool energy

Loosen up a little – or not – with Dunkin’ Donuts’ new Turbo Ice. The blend of double-brewed iced coffee and a shot of espresso is sure to wake up even the sleepiest of caffeine lovers. It’s available now ($1.79-$2.69) at Dunkin’ Donuts shops everywhere.

Lobster 101

Lobster lovers take note: The Maine Lobster Promotion Council now offers Passport to Lobster, a guide to eating and loving the state’s favorite crustacean. You can learn how to eat a lobster, record your favorite lobster-eating memories, send a Maine lobster postcard and enter to win a lobster bake delivered to your home, even if you’re landlocked.
