CNET Editors Tested Camping Gear All Summer: Here Are Our Favorite Gadgets

Why I like it: The Grayl GeoPress is among my best outdoor gear purchases. I feel confident drinking water from lakes, rivers and even the sketchiest of sources with this filtered water bottle -- and that's saying something, because I nearly bit the dust by acquiring three strains of E. Coli from contaminated water at one point (before I knew about Grayl). It efficiently removes waterborne pathogens, including 99.9999% of bacteria, viruses and protozoa, and filters particulates like silt, micro

Costco Recalls Prosecco That Could Shatter, Even Without Being Touched

If you recently purchased a bottle of prosecco at Costco, check the brand immediately. The massive warehouse-club retail chain has issued a recall for certain bottles of its Kirkland Signature Prosecco Valdobbiadene, reporting that the bottles could shatter without even being touched. Costco sent a letter to customers who bought the product between April 25 and Aug. 25 this year in Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, North Dakota, Nebraska, Ohio, South Dakota and W

Your Valdobbiadene Is at Risk of Shattering!

Did you buy any Kirkland Signature Prosecco Valdobbiadene at Coscto in the past year? You might want to be careful with that bottle. It could shatter for absolutely no discernible reason. Costco has sent out a warning to consumers who’ve purchased the Prosecco Valdobbiadene, a sparkling white wine, because the company says, “there is a risk of unopened bottles shattering, even when not handled or in use.” Unlike many other food recalls, this one specifically states that consumers shouldn’t ret

Sixteen bottles of wine riddle

Imagine the typical everyday scenario in which you have been imprisoned in the wine cellar of an evil combinatorialist. She promises to let you go, but only if you can solve her riddle. “Is it the one where there are 1000 barrels of wine and one of them is poisoned?” “Uh, maybe? Do you already know the answer to that one?” “…” You’re lead past a conspicuous amount of barrels and into a new room where you’re given a bottle of wine and four measuring devices.

T-Mobile’s latest freebie aims to beat the heat, but melts under pressure — literally!

TL;DR A viral Reddit post shows a warped T-Mobile Tuesdays water bottle. The poster claims it deformed after a couple of hours in a hot car, while the top comment suggests the bottles can shrink in the dishwasher. The freebie is available at T-Mobile corporate stores via the T-Life app through July 29. The latest T-Mobile Tuesdays giveaway was meant to keep customers hydrated this summer, but one viral image suggests that the free water bottle might not be built to last in the hot weather. D

Best Reusable Water Bottles in 2025

If you want a trusty stainless steel water bottle that is school- or office-friendly, then you'll like the S'well bottle. The S'well Blue Granite Bottle is BPA- and BPS-free and made with food-grade stainless steel. It uses S'well's "Therma swell technology," meaning it's triple-layer vacuum insulated to keep your water cold for up to 48 hours or hot for as long as 24 hours.

Central American Beaches Are Being Overrun With Local and Foreign Plastic

A Powerade bottle from 2001 was found on Yaya, a Peruvian beach south of Lima. A Coca-Cola bottle from 2002 was found on Robinson Crusoe Island, a World Biosphere Reserve, in Chile. These were the oldest of all the bottles collected. These discarded pieces of packaging were collected in a new macro-study that looked at the origin of plastic bottle pollution on beaches and cities along Latin America’s Pacific coastline. The research—the first to be conducted on a regional scale, thanks to a citi

Turns Out, Sniffing Your Wine Isn't Just for Show

Ordering wine can feel like a performance if you're not a seasoned sipper. There's the swirling, the sniffing, the obligatory nod after a tiny pour, and it's easy to assume it's all just for show or to see if you like the wine. But that initial sample isn't about taste at all. It's a quality check. That first pour is your chance to make sure the wine hasn't gone bad. Sometimes, bottles can spoil-especially if they've been improperly stored or have a faulty cork-and the result is something calle

Larq Bottle PureVis 2 Review: Drinking Water as a Video Game Isn’t as Dumb as It Sounds

There’s something I learned about hydration that I can never forget: if you are thirsty, you are already dehydrated. It’s a rule of thumb that can come in handy if you are out on a long hike or on the beach in the middle of summer when the risk of becoming dehydrated is pretty high. But day-to-day, I rarely pay attention to how much water I drink or how dehydrated my body could be. Despite the ever-growing popularity of mega-sized water bottles and counting the number of glasses people should d

No, That Taste of Wine a Server Offers Is Not to See if You Like It. Here's Why

Ordering wine at a restaurant shouldn't be a stressful occasion, but there is plenty of language and ritual associated with wine that can feel foreign to the casual drinker. One such practice is the obligatory tasting after the bottle is opened and before it's poured for you and your guests. Despite what you -- and many others -- might think, this is not really to determine if you like the wine, but rather, to ensure the wine is not spoiled or "corked." Because of that, you don't even need to s

Our Favorite Bottle Washers for Keeping Your Baby Bottles Safe and Clean (2025)

I like to think of the Baby Brezza Bottle Washer Pro as the pioneer of bottle washers. It paved the way for what I think will be a booming baby product in the next few years, and the Brezza specifically is consistently a top seller across retailers, so it felt like a natural to try first. The Brezza does what it promises. It washes and sterilizes well, and it uses less water than many competitors—great if you're working with limited filtered or purified water. Like most bottle washers I’ve trie

Pokemon Go: Is the Gold Bottle Cap Worth Buying a $20 Battle Pass?

I've been playing Pokemon Go since its release in 2016, and I've never caught a perfect shiny legendary. They're absurdly rare, because you need to roll the right stats and the alternate pigmentation on the same Pokemon. I suspect I'll be seeing a lot more shiny legendary Pokemon with max stats (or shundos, as the community calls them) soon, though, since developer Niantic has released the first Gold Bottle Cap into Pokemon Go. This powerful item lets you have total control over your Pokemon's

You'll Be Flabbergasted to Learn Which Contains More Microplastics: Plastic Bottles or Glass Bottles

You'll Be Flabbergasted to Learn Which Contains More Microplastics: Plastic Bottles or Glass Bottles "We expected the opposite result." Bottom of the Bottle French government scientists have discovered something startling about the microplastic content in glass and plastic bottles. As the Agence France-Presse reports, scientists at the country's food safety regulator found that glass-bottled drinks contained about 100 microplastic particles per liter, which amounts to roughly 25 particles pe

Drinks in glass bottles contain more microplastics than those in other container

The aim of the ANSES study was to determine the level of microplastic contamination in drinks such as water, soda, iced tea, wine and beer; it also sought to establish the impact of their containers on this level. For most of the drinks studied, the level of microplastics was found to be higher in glass bottles than in other containers. For example, on average, in glass bottles of cola, lemonade, iced tea and beer, there were around 100 microplastic particles per litre. This number was five to 5

2 Best Self-Cleaning Water Bottles in 2025

The CrazyCap bottle has two water purification modes: normal mode and "crazy mode." According to CrazyCap, normal mode kills up to 99.99% of contaminants and is suitable for "low to medium contamination," such as from public water fountains and tap faucets. Crazy mode, on the other hand, kills up to 99.9996% of contaminants and is suitable for "medium to high contamination," such as from lakes and rivers. The normal purification cycle takes 60 seconds and the crazy purification cycle takes two a

The World Is in a Polyester Crisis. One Company Is Trying to Recycle a Way Out

I’m on an overnight flight from New York to Frankfurt, Germany, and the accoutrements given to me in business class have a sustainable sheen. Both the polyester blanket and polyester flight kit proudly claim they are made of fabric spun from recycled plastic bottles. But doesn’t United Airlines know that recycled bottles are so yesterday’s green material? No, the new hot and hyped technology is recycling polyester into polyester. And I’m on my way to observe the most well-capitalized innovation
