Paro Double Wine Goblet

Filed under: Dining, Wine

Designed in 1983 by by Achille Castiglioni, the leaded crystal Paro Double Wine Goblet marries two vessels into one graceful object. Used upside down or downside up, the inverted cones serve as the base and the bowl. Part of the permanent collection in the Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum, these goblets give an entirely different meaning to wine pairing. $120 each at the Cooper-Hewitt Shop.

Hand-Crafted Wine Carafe with Glass Inside

Filed under: Wine

Next time you're in need of a unique gift for somebody that loves wine consider if they have one of these Wine Carafes with a wine glass snuggled inside -- I'm guessing they won't but would love to. Mouth-blown and hand-crafted carefully from a single piece of glass in Romania (how interesting would that be to watch?), obviously no two end up exactly alike. Very simple and classical in design, with no color or patterns to distract from the silhouette. Dishwasher safe (surprisingly), 12"x3.25", $95.

Riedel Pink Champagne "O" Tumbler

Filed under: Decor

This month is full of brilliant products to raise money for breast cancer. Riedel Crystal which offered a special glass last year, has created a Pink Champagne "O" glass to toast women whose lives have been affected by breast cancer. Unlike the other "O" glasses, the Pink Champagne glass sits on a ribbed hollow pedestal and the bowl is an elongated tulip shape. The glasses look a bit more like a pilsner glass than a champagne flute. A pair of Pink O Champagne glasses will retail for $27 with 15% of the wholesale price donated to Living Beyond Breast Cancer. The black box will be emblazoned with the breast cancer pink ribbon.

Concept Wineglasses for Long Distance Lovers

by Deidre Woollard (RSS feed) —

Here's a romantic idea for long distance loves. A new prototype from MIT is a wine glass that lets you know when your love has sipped. The glasses, developed by Jackie Lee and Hyemin Chung, use wireless links, liquid sensors and LED lights. When one person picks up a glass the red LED glows in the others glass and when one person sips, the white LED lets the other sipper know. The glasses can also have a practical as well as romantic purpose, allowing remote monitoring of water drinking by the sick or elderly. But it's more fun to imagine it as a shared wine moment.
