Our honest review of Souper Cubes, the Shark Tank product you need in your life
Souper cubes aren't just for freezing food
Souper cubes

If you're like the rest of America, you enjoy watching Shark Tank from time to time. Sitting comfortably on your couch, contributing your two cents about whether a product or business is a good idea or a ridiculous one, whether or not it will receive an offer, and at what price. It's a great show, to be sure, but over the last 15 seasons, we've seen some great ideas get heart-wrenchingly squashed, and some ridiculous products and businesses inexplicably launch into giant success. But when Souper Cubes creators Jake and Michelle Sendowski went on the show in 2020, everyone - both in the tank and on their couches at home - instantly agreed that the product was a winner.

What are Souper Cubes?
Souper Cubes are portioned freezer trays that allow you to freeze perfectly sized servings of just about any food you can think of. They come in a wide range of colors and sizes, including two tablespoons, half cup, one cup, and two cups, and are made from 100% food-grade silicone. They're extremely durable, easy to use, and safe for both the oven and the dishwasher.

A list of the best wines for your holiday table should be as great and varied as the dishes on the table (and the people sitting at it). We've tasted through a bunch and settled on a dozen suitable for your biggest end-of-the-year celebrations. Whether it's a festive sparkling wine, a crisp white, or bone-dry red, look to the following to brighten up your holiday meals.

What makes the grade? What separates the great holiday wines from the good ones are a couple of factors. One, they should be food-friendly picks. Two, they should offer enough complexity and enjoyment to sip on their own. And lastly, there should be some wow factor involved, at least for a few of the selections. After all, festive Christmas gatherings only happen once a year.
