Introduction	I am the designer and creator of Wine Coutures- a funky little line of eco-chic wine charms, bottle necklaces and accessories made from recycled and salvaged jewelry. I decided to focus on making wine glass charms in 2008 after I suffered acute liver failure and had to have an emergency liver transplant. Even though the doctors don’t know why my perfectly normal liver failed, liquor was now off limits. So, taking a cue from one of my favorite books I decided that, “Just because I’m resisting the wine doesn’t mean I can’t appreciate the bouquet.” (That’s from the book Twilight for all you non-vampire fans.) Hence, Wine Coutures was born. My wine glass charms continue to be my way to still enjoy the wine that I love so much.
