Sometimes I just type a seemingly random word into Google, not because it is a search engine but because it is a marketing machine – a roulette wheel for businesses seeking punters. I’m not searching for anything in particular, just curious about who would want to pay for that query.

Provoked by that mornings java I ended up with Colombian. Well it turns out that Colombias premier online service is colombianbride.com – tagline, ‘Colombian Brides make the best latin brides’ (wow – how did they make it sound so wholesome?). Although somehow I doubt that there is a JD Power survey to back this one up.

But all this aside those resourceful colombians are taking an interesting tack to all the wasted glass generated when car windscreens are replaced. Their recycled windshield wine glasses even retain the tint included to reduce driver glare. Not that I’m oftened dazzled by the viognier sloshing around in the thing – but a nice touch none the less. Now available at uncommongoods.com
