It’s all too easy to load up on carb-rich side dishes or pour a giant glass of wine without even thinking about whether the portion size is appropriate. Sometimes we need a gentle reminder of what’s healthy. That’s what Wine-Trax offers. Created by designer and entrepreneur Gail Curtis, Wine-Trax is a line of everyday glassware and dinnerware with frosted lines for measuring drinks and food. The beauty of Wine-Trax is its subtlety. The frosted rings on the glasses (marking 4, 6 and 8 ounces) are discreet and elegant. Cereal/snack bowls use the same convention to measure 1/3, 2/3 and 1 cup (and come with a resealable plastic lid). For the dinner plate, Gail designed frosted lines that divide the surface area according to food portions recommended by dietitians and wellness professionals: 1/4 plate for lean protein, 1/4 plate for whole grain and starch, and 1/2 plate for fruits and vegetables. Gail was inspired to create Wine-Trax because she wanted an effortless way to track portions without interrupting the enjoyment of a great meal. Each piece in her collection offers a visual reminder that can help reinforce wellness goals every day, without bringing measuring cups and scales to the dinner table.
Greetings! We are thrilled to be featured on Daily Grommet today. I’ve tried a zillion diets, books, weight loss programs and clinics and have finally realized the key is portion control. My elegantly designed dinnerware sets a beautiful table and allows you to monitor portions discreetly, without the need for measuring or weighing. If you have any questions, I’m here to answer them!
These are great! I've bought these for myself as well as my mom and sister, and we all love them! Makes it easy to keep the portions in check.
Is there a picture available of the plate, etc. without food on it? It would be nice to see the actual plate and the lines. Thanks.
@Gail Curtis - Thank you. These are awesome and will be so helpful!
@ Rita I grabbed a still shot from the video that shows the markings on the plate.
@Anney Tom: We've passed your message to your Aunt. She'll be contacting you directly to make sure you get to sample some healthy dining with her elegant line of glassware and dinnerware. We're excited that you're interested in spreading the good news of Wine-Trax in UK.
I bought all these products last year and Love It! I am one of those people that need to be reminded about portion control, that is why this product has worked so well for me. Thank you Gail, for thinking of it.
I gave Wine-Trax glasses to a couple of friends who are also wanting to be aware of their portions--we all think they are great for drinking (and measuring at the same time) juice, wine, soda, or any other beverage.
I use the glasses all the time and not only use them to control calories, but when I just want a little I ask my husband to pour wine "just up to the first line."
Received Wine-Trax trio as a gift and I've used them every day since. Super easy reminder that healthy eating should consist of mostly veggies and smaller portions of protein and carbs. Keeps me on track with my cereal servings too. The sets make great gifts, easy, elegant and practical. I know I sound like a commercial for them but they are such a wonderful product.
What is the actual plate size?
@ jc The plate's overall width is 10-1/2”. The inside measurement (less rim) is 6-1/2”.
@ IE Holliday: The set of 3 is now available. Enjoy!
