The best new product inventions fill a need and are easy to explain. While Jason and I sometimes have trouble explaining our digital inventions, inventor Ed Schmidt surely suffers no such difficulty.

Ed lives in California, a state known for its fabulous wine and occasional earthquake. So, as his wine collection grew, he became troubled by the possibility of losing it all during an unexpected seismic event. He invented his first product, QuakeGuardian®, to keep wine bottles secured on their racks. The invention is easy to install: you simply anchor a metal pin into the wood of your wine rack and then slip the attached ring around the neck of the wine bottle. The product is available in a gold-tone or black finish.

QuakeGuardian® also features a lovely hanging label for easy bottle labeling. And, for those wine aficionados not living in an earthquake zone, Ed sells a modified version of the QuakeGuardian®, under the name WineTagIt!®. The difference being that WineTagIt!® does not feature the pin and coil that anchors the bottle to your cellar racks.
