Perlman studied slow-motion videos of wine being poured. He observed first that drippage was most extreme when a bottle was full or close to it. He also saw that a stream of wine tends to curl backward over the lip and run down the side of the glass bottle because glass is hydrophilic, meaning it attracts water.
Using a diamond-studded tool, Perlman, assisted by engineer Greg Widberg, created a circular groove around the neck of the bottle just beneath the top. A droplet of wine that would otherwise run down the side of the bottle encounters the groove, but can’t traverse it. Instead, it immediately falls off the bottle into the glass along with the rest of the wine.
Remember that when you pour a full or nearly-full bottle of wine, you hold it at a slightly upward angle in relation to the glass. For a drop of wine to make it across Perlman's groove, it would have to travel up inside the groove against the force of gravity or have enough momentum to jump from one side of the groove to the other. After many tests, Perlman found the perfect width, roughly 2 millimeters, and depth, roughly 1 millimeter, for the groove so that the wine stream can't get passed it.
Current wine bottle designs date to the early 1800s and haven't changed much since. About 200 years of drips, drabs, stains and spots may be coming to an end. Perlman is currently speaking with bottle manufacturers about adopting his design.
Doesn't matter if you're chugging straight from the bottle
Or using a super long crazy straw if you're feeling fancy
Or using one of those aerators that plugs directly into the bottle.
Or just buy tiny plastic bottles and down them all at once without using a glass but be careful, tinywines are deceptively powerful

No, but he's not really on tv anymore. He's doing a science of cooking road show thing.
Good Eats ended, and his cooking game show that he was hosting was ... okay, but not really what I tune in to watch Alton Brown do (which is basically be Food Channel Bill Nye).
I didn't mean to imply that he'd died - sorry about that! Just that I miss his particular brand of humor + science + food + history + culture + ... + fun on TV.
Edit: For real though, it's Turkey mating season. They're out in all the fields and yesterday I saw a good sized flock come to a road as I approached. 'Thankfully' they decided to let me pass before walking out

Nicholson, who joined the Tampa Police department five years and began working on the bomb squad a few months ago, is pleased with his work.
“It’s a lot safer,” he joked, comparing beeping eggs to his day job. “Being able to help everyone out no matter who they are.”
The eggs will be “hidden” in an open field at Hickory Point Park in Tavares, Fla. It’s a chance for visually impaired children to participate in an Easter eggs hunt. The kids will find the eggs based on the sound of the beeps.
The fun begins April 15 with photos with the Easter bunny at 10 a.m. and the beeping egg hunt at 11.
“Definitely special for kids,” said Brough. “Every kid loves Easter and finding Easter eggs and this is just a way to let everybody participate in it.”
The annual Easter tradition was started 11 years ago by a special agent after finding out his newborn child was blind.
Bad news...:
Wisconsin police called out to put a stop to a kids street hockey game
...in a good way:
But they blocked off the street with their patrol cars, joined the game and played for 30 minutes before they showed the kids a nearby parking lot where they could play without risk or blocking the traffic. Police-called-to-stop-street-hockey-game-join-the-kids-instead

In further evidence of the existence of a cruel and uncaring God, we bring the latest from the Spider Desk (warning: animated gifs of skittering nope in link):
The world's spiders consume somewhere between 400 million and 800 million tons of prey in any given year. That means that spiders eat at least as much meat as all 7 billion humans on the planet combined, who the authors note consume about 400 million tons of meat and fish each year.
Or, for a slightly more disturbing comparison: The total biomass of all adult humans on Earth is estimated to be 287 million tons.
The gone right is that the total mass of spiders is only 25 million tones, so chances are we could eat them first. (that's about as gone right as the Spider Desk gets, I'm afraid)
Let not any one pacify his conscience by the delusion that he can do no harm if he takes no part, and forms no opinion.

Good thing spiders only have access to local webs and cannot read that article.

What kind of hoity toity wine snob are you? Look at this duder with his bottles of wine.
You drink it straight from the box like a true red blooded 'Murican, and you like it.
Or using one of those aerators that plugs directly into the bottle.

I think that's the appropriate treatment for many similar issues as well.
