Clean cut, easy wrap

No more tugging, tearing and tangling. And less waste. Elkins Park entrepreneur Chris Urban designed a trio of dispensers with patented cutting mechanisms specific to each type of kitchen wrap - clinging plastic, thicker foil and slippery waxed paper.

The sturdy plastic units (31/2-by-141/2-inches) sit stable on a counter for sure sizing and a safe, quick and clean cut, then lock and fit easily in a drawer.

Juice of the vine

At first blush these all-natural varietal juices - Chardonnay, Cabernet and Merlot - might pass for sweet wine, but they're actually sophisticated premium grape juices.

For those who like the underlying wine taste but find 38 grams of all-natural sugar too sweet, go with First Blush spritzers as a summery nonalcoholic refreshment.
