(TheAtlantic) - The bottles you're used to yield four glasses. A California company thinks dividing them up to make a "tower of toasts" is the next big thing. And they're looking for investors.Musing on a favorite pastime, James Michener once declared that "to dine in harmony with nature is one of the gentlest and loveliest things we can do," concluding that "picnics are the apex of sensible living." It's a mantra I've taken to heart, "for of this world one never sees enough." My habit is to bring a bottle of wine, uncivilized prohibitions against imbibing it outdoors be damned. Usually I take a wine key too, but being a forgetful sort, I've had occasion to force corks down the necks of bottles with objects as varied as a cheap plastic pen, splintery driftwood, a friend's lipstick container, and the curved metal protruding from a u-lock.
