I hate it when waitrons/wine waiters fiddle around me and constantly refill my wine glass.
I purrtickularily hate it when they rush over, after spotting you filling your own glass, with looks of horror on their face.
“Oh no!”, they exclaim,”That’s my job, let me do that!!”.
Well here’s a solution that should keep us all happy.
An ingenious device which consists of a bulb shaped container with the glass below.
When the amount in the glass decreases, a constant amount is poured from the tank into the glass.
It never overflows from the glass because pressure equalization.
You never have to refill your glass, and therefore you don’t need a waitron/wine waiter to do it for you.
Biblioteque in the Cape Quarter used to sell it, according to the Japanese manufacturer. They have, unfortunately, closed down.
So you’ll have to get one direct from the manufacturer if you need one badly.
They are Kyouei Design.

Clare, as a qualified sommelier (Cape Wine Academy) with a distinction in stemware and corkscrew technique, I must complain about this clear cut case of sommelier-bashing. Especially from someone who can’t even spell. Purrtickularily? Pathetic, more like.
Are you being for real, Afton? I mean, puhleeze!!
Afton,
Off corse Clare kant spel.
But that makes her speshul – and her “An anti wine waiter device.” write-up is very speshul as well.
Fanks Clare.
Oh you are awful Dirk!! But I like you.
Clare, That Afton de Beer person needs to do a reality check.A disctinction in corkscrew technique?? Did you ever hear such rubbish. I wonder is it for opening bottles of wine or some other function that he got it for.Anyway, a Cape Wine Sommelier is not a real sommelier – it’s a sort of makey up South African version.
That’s a bit harsh Mariete. You can only really drink South African wines when you are out and about in South Africa……so the need is really there for people who understand wines from SA. If they were to get full international accreditation it would make doing the course far too expensive. As it is, it costs about R18,000 anyway.
How on earth would someone drink from this? The way I look at it, it seems that the bulb would knock my head everytime I took a sip. Another thing, how heavy is this? Perhaps I am just being silly, I suppose one could try it out before judging though.
Hi Julie, It would be a bit of a challenge I’ll admit, but very rewarding in the end.
