National Poetry Month: Wine Edition

Elizabeth Hood, who wrote for us last month about learning how to navigate a wine list on the job, loves her wine glass collection. Seriously. Not just a little, but a lot. Her love for her glassware collection extends so far that it inspired a series of haikus. Now we’ve heard of wine-inspired poetry, but this is the first we’re hearing of wine glass-inspired poetry. Are you as intrigued as we were? Well, wait no longer. In celebration of National Poetry Month, we offer you Elizabeth’s haikus.

• Swarovski crystal
  Flutes etched with falling snowflakes
  To start wedded bliss
• Tiny lace details
  Perfect for toasting Champagne
  A gram of my best lived life
• Four Riedel stemless
  Ever the consummate host
  Turn up the slow jams
• A case bought in bulk
  Easy to fill to the brim
  A party pre-req
• My go to Cab glass
  Designed to suit him or her
  Welcomes the big pour
• A plain white wine glass
  Use me most in summer or
  Mimosas for brunch
• Vintage and floral
  Too tiny to be of use
  Look good on display
