French made solid brass duck press
Handcrafted in Normandy from solid brass in the manner developed over a century ago, the Solid Brass French Duck Press has been used in fine restaurants during the table side preparation of Canard a la presse or pressed duck. In the traditional restaurant preparation, waiters remove the breast and leg meat from a lightly roasted duck and place the duck bones in the bowl of the press. The press handle is rotated clockwise and the juices and marrow are extracted from the bones and funneled to a saucier and combined with wine, brandy, aromatics, seasonings, and the duck meat. The sauce is heated and reduced, resulting in a heady glaze that is served atop the duck breast and legs. The base of this solid brass duck press sits on brass duck feet and the large wheel is easy to grip and turn. Could serve as a great paper weight, but if you do squash a duck, clean the press with a non-abrasive tin cleaner. The price for this brass duck press at Hammacher Schlemmer is $2,000 USD.

Floor-standing chiller
This high-quality acrylic 36" tall floor standing chiller is shaped like a martini glass, and in the right light resembles fine crystal, adding a nice, soft touch to your decor.

You can simply keep the bottles in, substituting the ice with some sort of decorative glass or acrylic squares or balls. Again, with the correct lighting the floor-standing chiller will provide a lasting impression in your living room. The acrylic construction is durable and ensures less condensation than metal or glass chillers. The chiller is food-safe and can be used for fruit and party snacks, or as a punch bowl.

This beautifully made brushed stainless steel beverage fountain can serve cold lemonade as well as hot chocolate. Previously available exclusively to professionals, the Hot and Cold fountain has a built-in heater that allows you to serve hot beverages, keeping them at an even 120 F. This fountain has an integrated quiet pump that pushes liquids up through a central cylindrical chamber and out of three spigots that gently pour into the 1-gallon reservoir without splashing. With a constant flow that eliminates the need for repeated stirring, the Hot and Cold beverage fountain is simple to operate and clean. The removable tier is dishwasher safe. And in our opinion it adds a nice decorative touch. The price is $200 at Hammacher Schlemmer.

The solar-powered Light Show wind chime
This wind chime makes a beautiful sound when the breeze blows through and is a pleasure to watch. The solar-powered wind chime has four solar panels that provide power for an LED contained inside a crackled texture glass sphere. The LED progresses slowly through seven colors, one color every three seconds, and its light is refracted through the glass, creating star-like patterns on walls and floors. The sphere also acts as a striker for the five aluminum chimes that hang from the canopy, producing a gentle cascade of tones in breezes. Weatherproof glass and electroplated aluminium. You can buy this beautiful solar-powered wind chime for just under $40 at Hammacher Schlemmer, but not surprisingly, it is currently sold out.

The Oenophile's personal winery
When I saw this personal winery for the first time, I thought that it was much too similar to the Provina WinePod, which was, at least initially selling for $2,000, and the one we covered almost a year ago. These days WinePod sells for the cool $3,500. This personal winery demands even cooler $6,000. The winery is the automated home winery that can make up to four cases of wine. Somehow it combines the traditional wine making techniques with modern oenological technology, and the entire wine making process, including cold soaking, pressing, fermenting and aging is done in the stainless steel chamber. The personal winery comes with the computer system which uses Windows Vista, XP or 2000, and monitors the entire operation. If you have wireless Internet, the winery will transmit everything to your computer, where you can store the whole process to analyze, chart or what have you, with the help of the software that is provided. The software will notify you when to smell, taste or press down your grapes, giving the instructions on how to produce the desired characteristics and flavours. You can even talk to others around the whole wine making world, sharing tips, techniques and ideas. The grape press will automatically lift the grape pomace out of the basin for easy cleaning. This personal winery comes with oak storage barrel for additional aging, siphon, and 48 bottles. LED and 4 button control panel. The main advantage over WinePod, I think, is that the winery offers more sophisticated software. Buy this winery at Hammacher Schlemmer for $6,000 USD.

Tyrol decanter from Riedel Wine Glass
This beautiful Tyrol decanter by Riedel is elegantly shaped and provides perfect aeration for your favorite wine. As Christian Moueix once said, you decant old wines just a few moments before they are served, to ensure that the wines clarity and brilliance are not obscured by any deposit that may have developed over time. The young wines should be decanted several hours before they are served, as this gives the wine a chance to bloom and attain a stage of development that normally requires years of aging. We can't agree with him more. Buy this stylish Tyrol decanter from Wineware. The price is £100 or $203. Previously, inverted wine decanter.
