    Default Wink Glass-Nibbed Demonstrator Pen Writes with Wine

    How to get rid of the Two-Buck Chuck that the cheapskate brought to your last party:

    "Write With Wine, Juice, Tea, or Ink

    Somewhere between a fountain pen and a traditional dip pen, there’s the Wink: a refillable pen that writes not only with ink, but also with alternative liquids like wine, juice, and tea. Drawing inspiration from the glass dip pens that gained popularity in the 1920s, it marks the first time a new glass pen has been introduced to the market since the metal scarcity of World War II. Each pen functions as a demonstrator, with a transparent body that gives users a peek into the inner workings. The piston filler uses a simple twist-to-refill and ink-release system, and the handmade glass nib—besides being lovely to look at—serves as a unique feeding mechanism. The result? A beautiful, sustainable take on the writing instruments we use every day."

    Yeah, that thing has been around for a while. Doesn't work very well, pretty much a gimmick. Use a real pen and you'll have a lot more fun, unless you really think that writing with liquids not meant as writing fluids is a monumentally cool idea.

    and that when Truth and Error have fair Play, the former is always an overmatch for the latter."

    I suppose you could let the alcohol evaporate for more saturation.

    or use real ink instead. I suggest Diamine Syrah.
