Unique Wineglass
Dec.28, 2009 in
Wine Sets
Uh…who would ever suppose that the odd item is actually a wineglass? And what is more surprising is that the wine doesn’t spill out at all. You know why? Check the pictures below, and you’ll find that’s due to the equivalent atmospheric pressure inside the left spherical vessel and the glass on the right.

i wanna have a pinot outta these!!!
December 30th, 2009 at 2:51 am
Very creative, it holds quite a lot of wine though.. after one use, its bound to be dropped in a drunken stupor.
December 30th, 2009 at 3:14 am
How do u fill it?
December 30th, 2009 at 3:19 am
awesssooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooommmmmmmmmmmmmeee
December 30th, 2009 at 3:37 am
Yes, that’s all well and good, but who drinks that much wine? Seriously! You’d have to empty a vineyard to serve a party with that glassware.
Cool concept.
December 30th, 2009 at 4:19 am
wow wow wow
December 30th, 2009 at 9:15 am
WHOAH! haha x) x)
December 30th, 2009 at 10:42 am
not for “hand talkers” i would think, dope idea tho
December 30th, 2009 at 11:34 am
very nice design. I wonder if this would aid the aroma or taste
December 30th, 2009 at 1:35 pm
Suck cocks.
December 30th, 2009 at 1:36 pm
And eat a shit-covered asshole.
December 30th, 2009 at 2:47 pm
Smells like tacos
December 30th, 2009 at 5:06 pm
would this not mean people are drinking entier bottles?
December 30th, 2009 at 5:10 pm
Bravo! I think that there are more fellow artists that give me such inspiration, I didn’t express myself enough as a child for fear of critic from my mother who was an art teacher. She has passed away a few years ago and I’m now using her materials and discovering that I have the gift too! Thank You & Happy New Year
December 30th, 2009 at 6:58 pm
this is so bad ass!
December 30th, 2009 at 9:23 pm
WOAH! this is soooo freakin’ amazing!
December 31st, 2009 at 12:57 am
but won’t the vessel smack you in the face whenever you take a drink?
December 31st, 2009 at 1:45 am
That design fails, because you are overlooking one large problem…
December 31st, 2009 at 2:29 am
Okay, I can’t help but think it looks like a bong.
December 31st, 2009 at 2:31 am
That would work for a self filling dog water dish.
December 31st, 2009 at 4:00 am
An item for the lush sect. Why have a glass or two, when you can have the whole bottle. lol
December 31st, 2009 at 4:23 am
fantastic
December 31st, 2009 at 5:23 am
how do you fill it up
December 31st, 2009 at 5:43 am
Fucking cool!
December 31st, 2009 at 6:26 am
yeah, but how the hell do you get the drank in the sphere?
December 31st, 2009 at 8:02 am
How do you get the wine in the glass in the 1st place?
December 31st, 2009 at 8:17 am
How does one go about acquiring
one of these “Unique Wineglass”?
They are quite neat!
December 31st, 2009 at 8:20 am
who’s going to drink that much?
December 31st, 2009 at 10:48 am
Wow! That is a really cool concept and idea, I wonder if this glass is actually availible.
December 31st, 2009 at 10:49 am
bugger for cleaning the wine stains …
December 31st, 2009 at 11:15 am
Its so gay
December 31st, 2009 at 1:46 pm
HHow do you refill it, wash it?
December 31st, 2009 at 2:44 pm
really neat deisgn! it looks cool, but hard to clean. neat nonetheless.
December 31st, 2009 at 6:36 pm
Fucking sweet.
December 31st, 2009 at 8:41 pm
what a wonderfully engineered design which uses some basic principles of physics…
that being said, wine is supposed to breathe before you drink it.
January 1st, 2010 at 4:59 am
where can i get one? my dad would love it!
January 1st, 2010 at 1:10 pm
wow this is awesome! I want one
January 1st, 2010 at 6:53 pm
looks like a bong.
January 1st, 2010 at 8:26 pm
Wow! I love this! great invention!
January 1st, 2010 at 10:40 pm
looks like the hunchback of wine glasses
January 1st, 2010 at 10:41 pm
the hunchback of wine glasses. interesting
January 2nd, 2010 at 12:50 am
looks like a pretty effective wine bong..
January 2nd, 2010 at 12:51 am
or more like a wine cooler..
January 2nd, 2010 at 1:45 am
looks heavy when full, or worse top heavy especially when your wife is tipsy
January 2nd, 2010 at 2:29 am
Sooo cool…I want one.
January 2nd, 2010 at 2:43 am
Well… How in the sam hill do you fill it?
January 2nd, 2010 at 4:01 pm
amazing
January 2nd, 2010 at 4:59 pm
weird wine glass, weird wine.
January 2nd, 2010 at 5:00 pm
whoever made it must be an odd artistic desighner!
January 2nd, 2010 at 7:56 pm
Wrong.
Yes, it does spill… when you try to pour wine into it.
January 2nd, 2010 at 8:04 pm
Where do you pour the liquid into the glass? Kind of confused as to how that works. But its sweet looking.
January 3rd, 2010 at 8:37 am
I want one!!!! Or eight….
January 4th, 2010 at 12:14 am
But how do you fill it up…
?
January 4th, 2010 at 3:20 am
IWANTONE!!!!
January 4th, 2010 at 4:00 am
I am guessing that these will NOT catch on. Neat demonstration of basic physics, but have fun cleaning them after a party. Conversation piece for the conspicuous consumer.
January 4th, 2010 at 5:47 am
Ooh! Works like a toilet!
January 4th, 2010 at 6:30 am
how long it will take to refill that? And how hard it will be, when you propably have to hold that class in an angle..? sweet desing tho.
January 4th, 2010 at 7:30 am
How does one refill THIS wine glass
January 4th, 2010 at 10:14 am
ok….so I get why it doesn’t spill….but I can’t for the life of me figure out how you fill. =)
January 4th, 2010 at 11:50 am
That seems like a retro idea but what are we gerbils.
January 4th, 2010 at 12:47 pm
and how are you supposed to drink from it? with your head against the blob???????
January 4th, 2010 at 2:10 pm
why ?
January 4th, 2010 at 2:24 pm
i wanna buy one
January 4th, 2010 at 3:07 pm
beautiful design and great glass… if you like to drink A LOT of wine. It looks hard to clean though
January 4th, 2010 at 5:56 pm
What is the correct procedure in filling the glass?
January 4th, 2010 at 6:16 pm
if you drink every time you tip it will work
January 4th, 2010 at 7:33 pm
really?
January 4th, 2010 at 8:01 pm
doesn’t that look like something..? oh yeah! a toilet! that’s it
January 4th, 2010 at 9:23 pm
This glass is impossible to clean. Very dirty. However, it is probably expensive and certainly impractical, so it’s still an excellent acquisition
January 4th, 2010 at 10:54 pm
It´s really awful!!
January 4th, 2010 at 11:35 pm
It’s neat and all, till you have to clean it… just say’n
January 5th, 2010 at 12:58 am
Wouldn’t drinking out of it be very messy?
January 5th, 2010 at 1:03 am
where can i find this wine glass
January 5th, 2010 at 1:49 am
Did someone SERIOUSLY ask “how do you fill it?”
…wow.
what an idiot.
January 5th, 2010 at 1:53 am
I still say it looks like a urinal.
January 5th, 2010 at 2:43 am
the wine would be warm if you left it sit like that
January 5th, 2010 at 4:15 pm
Trying to figure out how to wash it? Certainly not the dishwasher!
January 5th, 2010 at 6:53 pm
it doesn’t take very much to realise that you refill it by turning it sideways….
January 5th, 2010 at 6:57 pm
wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow
lois this is not my batman cup!
January 5th, 2010 at 8:49 pm
To everyone who asked how to fill the glass. You point the open hole towards the sky, ceiling, or whatever is UP, in your reality, then you pour the liquid down into the glass. Just like you fill any glass of anything.
And it looks like it only holds 2 times the amount of a regular wine glass, it’s not a whole bottle.
Thank you for your time.
January 5th, 2010 at 8:55 pm
It does not work like a toilet, because there is no rubber stopper to plug the hole, like in a toilet. Also the reservoir is sealed on the top, unlike a toilet, where you can remove the top. And you don’t have to tip your toilet on it’s side to fill it.
Thank you for your time.
January 5th, 2010 at 9:46 pm
I must (hick….) say….hick…. nice idea!!! hick…
January 5th, 2010 at 10:44 pm
Looks like fun!
January 5th, 2010 at 11:14 pm
this glass, though beautiful, is no good for red wine- as red needs to breathe for flavors to open up. would be good for white, or better yet- something fortified like port or sherry.
some have asked how it’s filled. you hold it at an angle so that the sipping glass is vertical and pour allowing the wine to enter the bulb.
cleaning is a similar process as you let warm soapy water in the same way ans swish… the difficult part is rinsing all the soap out and of course drying the glass.
January 6th, 2010 at 1:40 am
they look like flasks used for fermentation.
January 6th, 2010 at 6:29 am
You would look like such a knob if you drank from one of these… I mean seriously. Oh look there’s a huge red bulbous thing growing from your face – oh no wait! It’s your wine glass!!
January 6th, 2010 at 8:21 am
It looks like one of the horns five year old’s put on their bikes. Or a bong, kinda. Or a self filling dog bowl. Or maybe like the candelabra from Beauty and the Beast is serving you some wine. It kinda resembles that too.
January 6th, 2010 at 9:16 am
All that have said i agree.
1- Your head will face the bulb
2 – Wine Have to breathe
3 – Impossible to clean
4 – Hard to fill up
5 – Almost nobody drink that much wine
How this could be a good concept? Its only strange, and thats it.
(works like a toilet was a funny one)
January 6th, 2010 at 10:22 am
soo… how do i shot refill?
January 6th, 2010 at 11:57 am
so ben, you have taken this war of ours to the interwebs? i presume that you were telling me to suck cock! well let me tell you one thing boy! your performance during the movie ‘pearlharbour’ was CRAP! everybody agrees
January 6th, 2010 at 8:01 pm
Super cool concept – despite some concerns. It’s what I need when watching my favourite TV series. Lovely conversation starter as well…Still no word, where one could order some of these?
My compliments to the artist!!
January 6th, 2010 at 8:34 pm
does it work for beer?
January 7th, 2010 at 5:22 am
I’ve read all the concerns and comments on this blog. Instantly I like the invention. However, my main concern is that the person drinking can’t see anything while drinking. Imagine two beloved that want to toast eachother. They can only see a red ‘bottle’ just in front of their eyes… Second, a wine needs to be decanted. This invention doesn’t solve this issue.
January 7th, 2010 at 5:48 am
Looks like a bong
January 7th, 2010 at 7:09 am
hard to clean..
January 7th, 2010 at 7:28 am
Yeah it really doesnt look like a bong. And so many people are sayin “This implies that people are drinking whole bottles of wine?”…. like you people really only have one glass of wine whenever you drink! Seriously though! Also its really not rocket science to fill up the glass! You just pour the wine in the same place all the wine comes out of, you just tilt the glass the opposite direction. Was that really so hard to figure out?
January 7th, 2010 at 9:45 am
how do you know what size it is???
it could be a little smaller than a normal wine glass, and full would equal a standard drink or something. you never knowwwwww
January 7th, 2010 at 1:07 pm
it looks dumb just picture urself holding it its a wine glass with a boil
January 7th, 2010 at 1:08 pm
You can only use it once because cleaning will be impossible.
January 7th, 2010 at 1:54 pm
how would you hold it?? wouldnt it be top heavy and the glass would break…doesnt look practical…
January 7th, 2010 at 3:07 pm
I want a set please.
How much per glass, and where can they be bought?
I wouldn’t use them for wine, but for water, for sure.
January 7th, 2010 at 5:03 pm
i think i’d rather just drink straight from the bottle.
January 7th, 2010 at 5:24 pm
a great idea! Apparently, from the pictures, it looks like it will hold about 4 glasses worth of wine. Not too bad for a quiet evening wowing your friends.
January 7th, 2010 at 10:45 pm
This looks cool, but really, who drinnks that much? How do you refill it it? And How do you clean it?
January 9th, 2010 at 5:38 am
hahah im with the beer guy ^ kinda reminds me of a bong or bubbler
January 9th, 2010 at 8:42 pm
The problem I see is the weight, wouldn’t that way a bit much with all the wine?
January 9th, 2010 at 9:29 pm
what a crock of shit . i am a philistine and just remembered why
January 10th, 2010 at 6:20 am
cool they finally came up with the technology that Pet Product companies have been using in dog dishes for years
! ingenuity at its best
January 10th, 2010 at 11:29 am
won’t the large bulb hit your forehead when you tilt it? plus, wine is most often paired with good conversation…how can you have that when you have that giant object obstructing your view of the person you’re talking to?
really neat idea, but i really hope this is just a prototype. needs a LOT more tweaking.
January 10th, 2010 at 11:44 am
absolutely beautiful design…and for everyone that is stupid enough to ask how to fill it, turn it on its side/upside down…also its all very simple, you tip it, drink, and the wine comes out and since the rest of the wine is blocked from coming out of the hole by the wine already in the cup it doesn’t overfill.
January 10th, 2010 at 3:02 pm
Sorry, but… they’re so ugly.
January 10th, 2010 at 3:06 pm
Wow… That’s. Well that’s a LOT of wine.
Really inventive though. I’d fill it with coke.
January 11th, 2010 at 2:03 am
wonder if it would still work if you beer in it. or would the carbonation make a mess?
January 11th, 2010 at 12:26 pm
It looks like a vital organ of an alien species. I wouldn’t drink from it.
January 12th, 2010 at 10:01 pm
Oh, c’mon. You tilt it sideways with the open side up, you pour in the wine which flows through the tube into the teardrop shaped part. When that’s full, you stand it upright and start drinking. Cleaning would be a bitch, though.
January 13th, 2010 at 1:02 am
if u cut the top off somehow smoothly or just drill or poke a small whole in the top of the glass somehow, put a little screen in the bottom hole then you have a bowl with a huge place for grass
January 13th, 2010 at 9:59 am
Study this pic for just a minute, instead of having a kneejerk “How do you do… (whatever)” moment, and it’s pretty simple-
How to fill-
Tilt drinking section straight up, as if it were a normal glass. Fill with wine. The bulb, because of the new angle, is now to the left and below the upright glass, allowing gravity and pressure to fill it completely. When full, tilt glass to right and physics will do the rest.
How to clean-
Same as above, except fill with soapy water, shake, and this time point drinking section straight down over sink, allowing fluid to escape. Fill with water again, shake, keep repeating until water is clear.
C’mon guys, think it through.
January 13th, 2010 at 3:50 pm
I would like to drink some Merlot in this bad boy.
Sweeeeeeeeeeet.
January 13th, 2010 at 10:48 pm
that’s freaking awesome, i want some!!!!!!!!!!!!!
January 14th, 2010 at 10:48 pm
Terrible idea.
January 15th, 2010 at 2:01 am
ummm how do u fill it?
January 16th, 2010 at 7:16 pm
so where do i get one?
January 18th, 2010 at 4:52 am
we use an instrument in labs at my university similar t that, you just have to tip it upside down when your filling it, then when youre done put it right side up again. it doesnt spill out
January 20th, 2010 at 6:01 am
Great idea but completely ridiculous price at $350 i’d rather continue pouring my glasses of wine thank you.
January 20th, 2010 at 5:37 pm
For all those who mentioned the “large” amount of wine required to fill the container: these pictures provide no comparison with which to determine the size of these glasses. They could be 6″ tall for all you know.
January 23rd, 2010 at 3:02 pm
& You want this to be washed after every use
January 25th, 2010 at 8:53 pm
This does not work… simply saying equivalent atmospheric pressures means nothing. It certainly does not change the fact that with that great amount of wine on the left and lack of resistance to pressure from the right the middle joint will spray wine out of it… I have built far to many bongs with similar constructions, this will not work.
January 26th, 2010 at 1:54 am
it’s like a toilet
January 26th, 2010 at 1:14 pm
easy to clean….
January 27th, 2010 at 2:31 am
Oh stumble upon you never cease to amaze me… so does it start spilling as soon as you drink half of it or can you hold any amount?
January 27th, 2010 at 11:28 am
how the hell are you supposed to clean that thing, and since atmosphere equivalence or whatever they call it prevents the wine from pouring out, wont that prevent it from going in?
Props to whoever designed it, innovative. But unless you plan on taking down half the bottle in one sitting this probably aint for you.
January 27th, 2010 at 4:45 pm
cool idea. Very impractical. reminds me of those nights when i started at point A then waking up at point B not knowing how or caring.
January 28th, 2010 at 8:28 am
This is interesting. As you drink from the glass, it would automatically fill to the exact same point. Why are there so many questions about how to fill it? just turn it up and pour wine in, there is no air lock when you turn it up so the wine will ‘glug’ in slowly as air escapes. Might be more of a problem to completely fill it however.
For all of you who are concerned about the volume of wine…you don’t necessarily have to fill it all the way. This is an excellent innovation. I can see how cleaning it might be a problem though.
January 29th, 2010 at 3:23 am
wow a wine glass you cant drink out of– God damn your a genius!
February 4th, 2010 at 2:14 pm
I just want to fill it with vodka. i’ll always have a shot ready. Aways.
February 15th, 2010 at 8:20 pm
wouldn’t it hit you in the face ?
February 16th, 2010 at 12:20 pm
Fill it, amount of wine, clean it… all good and rightful questions.
But what will happen when you tilt the glass and air can enter? How will the air know when to stop? To me, it looks like you will get a good shower of wine whenever you tilt the glass too much…
Salad
February 16th, 2010 at 3:37 pm
Screw wine, I’ll be enjoying Pepsi out of this fantastic contraption
February 17th, 2010 at 5:18 pm
my question is how are supposed to clean it properly without getting soap suds suck in the bulb, it doesn’t seem that the designer was thinking of much other than appearance, all and all its like one of those crazy straws you get at parties; good the first time but after you use it there isn’t much chance you’ll have the same effect as the first time, unless you like your milk with a nasty orange soda and dish detergent after taste. :\
February 19th, 2010 at 8:32 pm
There is no reference to scale.. how can you say somthing is small or large without a comparitive object? the glass could be the size of a car or the size of a penny for all you know
February 26th, 2010 at 5:58 am
Why all the questions about how to get wine into it, and how to clean ist?
It is just a great example for really creative industrial design, combined with clever use of physics.
Great work, but surely not for everydays use.
February 26th, 2010 at 6:11 pm
i have seen this before in a dog bowl design, lol.
February 28th, 2010 at 11:01 pm
this is clearly just a disguised bong
March 4th, 2010 at 11:14 am
Please, I beg you, delete idiot comments…
March 4th, 2010 at 9:37 pm
this kinda looks like my bong that i use a lot…….
March 6th, 2010 at 12:32 pm
to fill it you would hold it up side down same effect but in reverse
March 7th, 2010 at 9:12 pm
this just makesm me laugh…
thanks stumbleupon for making my day that much better.
looks like a martian jug!
good luck toasting to your loved one and trying to see them over the “blood-bubble” haha.
really tho, it was a nice concept for an art piece.
March 11th, 2010 at 6:33 pm
i wanna make a bong outa that!
March 12th, 2010 at 1:14 am
“Who would drink that much wine?” you suck… I would. Cause it tastes good like koolaid. Gimme a box over a bottle any day. There’s more there and it’s cheaper. Snobs. And yes I am a drunk.
March 12th, 2010 at 1:16 am
Also that is a neat idea for a wine glass. Way better than a mason jar.
March 16th, 2010 at 2:29 pm
Problem, take a drink and get conked on the forehead.
March 23rd, 2010 at 4:39 pm
This is cool because the bulb is huge, but a smaller bulb could be fun AND practical!
March 30th, 2010 at 12:16 am
The comments are even more funny than the glass! Great reading!!
March 30th, 2010 at 3:14 am
Where do I buy the Kyouei Design wine glasses?
Ben Koshkin
March 30th, 2010 at 10:18 pm
what the fuck is wrong with a normal wine glass?
March 31st, 2010 at 12:34 am
how would you clean this?
March 31st, 2010 at 2:58 am
Uhm… this is pretty much a modified instrument you use in biology to show the CO2 production of certain chemicals in yeast, etc.
March 31st, 2010 at 3:24 am
I wanna put my penis in it.
March 31st, 2010 at 10:33 am
Personally, when I plan on drinking a whole bottle of wine I just drink out of the bottle, saves on dish washing and the buying of odd glasswear…
March 31st, 2010 at 5:50 pm
i use a device with the same principal for my dog’s water dish
April 2nd, 2010 at 9:02 am
perfect design but not very suitable for the washing mashine or even for the sink to wash it manually
April 3rd, 2010 at 9:06 pm
i think the part on the right side is mouthsized and the other pary may be fist sized? just a thought. although it is my opinion that the more wine the better…. sweetest thing ever i want one so bad.
April 3rd, 2010 at 9:14 pm
Why do people keep wondering how to clean it? It isn’t that difficult of a concept. It’s the same way to clean a vase or decanter with a very narrow neck: put a small handful of white rice in it, add soapy water and spin. The rice will act as a weak abrasive, pulling anything stuck off of the sides. Also helps to follow that up with white vinegar which will eat through the residue as well. Then just rinse with water a few times. Not that difficult.
April 5th, 2010 at 3:32 pm
it looks like a bong -__________-
April 5th, 2010 at 9:29 pm
That’s cool!
It looks like a bong!
How do you fill it?
That’s shit!
That would hold lots of wine!
How would I clean it?
Where can I get one?
Now you don’t have to read any of the comments below this
Also, to the person who wants to drink pepsi out of it; you’re a retard. Pepsi is carbonated and gives off gas, thus pressurising the chamber and spilling your pepsi everywhere.
April 7th, 2010 at 1:47 am
You forgot “it looks like a toilet”
May 4th, 2010 at 9:42 pm
hey you could shoot with it if you get someone to smash a hole in the top while you have your mouth to it, hahahahaha
May 22nd, 2010 at 11:36 pm
All the more for my girlfriend to spill on the tan carpet
May 23rd, 2010 at 12:30 am
For those of you who scoff and say “Who drinks that much wine???” Well I do. I drink that much wine.
May 23rd, 2010 at 5:11 am
Interesting wine glass. this looks to me like it only holds a few glasses of wine, dumb-ass to fill it you tip it and fill it through the glass, dumber- ass.
May 23rd, 2010 at 8:04 am
I need one of these…excellent
May 23rd, 2010 at 1:42 pm
The bubble part of the glass needs a big indent so you have a place to put your nose while drinking.
May 23rd, 2010 at 1:49 pm
Hopefully one doesn’t have a protruding forehead.
May 23rd, 2010 at 3:16 pm
Hey, I think there is a basic flaw in the pic …
How can the pressure due small amount of wine on the right side match the pressure of the wine on left side even if you add atmospheric pressure on the right. Pressure on the left will clearly be more than that on the right and liquid will flow till the two pressures match .. i.e wine will spill out

how do they fill it?
wtf
May 25th, 2010 at 2:29 pm
impossible to clean.
Only for alcoholics (the create probably is)
And for those who ask how it is filled: Stupidity angers me! think before posting… pls!
May 26th, 2010 at 5:55 pm
How the hell do you WASH IT…
May 26th, 2010 at 9:52 pm
kinda hard to clean properly
May 27th, 2010 at 10:01 pm
Where can I find these?!!!!
May 29th, 2010 at 1:33 pm
yes, but they will not be famous because they would be too heavy to have at a party. the whole point of a wine glass is that it’s light, and people never fill up the whole glass because we don’t drink wine to get trashed. Drinking wine is actually a sophisticated habit. People try it, and sip it, not down it. It’s a very very cool design, but I don’t think it would be such a hit in the market.
May 30th, 2010 at 12:16 am
Those look like suck a pain to wash.
May 30th, 2010 at 4:04 am
Everyone who left a comment is a moron. I feel stupid just breaking it to you.
June 3rd, 2010 at 11:45 pm
shopped
June 8th, 2010 at 10:26 pm
This looks an awful lot like a fermentation chamber used in chemistry experiments and yeast testing…
June 13th, 2010 at 4:00 pm
it could not possibly work.
Air pressure outside wouldn’t equal the pressure of wine inside and the bubble’s pressure (Athmospheric pressure itself).
POOR SILLY DESIGNERS
June 22nd, 2010 at 6:55 am
Erm, there is no point of reference, the wine glass could be as small as a thimble or as big as a house.
June 22nd, 2010 at 11:27 am
How is this impossible to clean now????? just think about it come on…
June 22nd, 2010 at 7:39 pm
Too all of you saying, how do you fill it-
How hard is it to tilt it so the glass is upgright and pour in some wine.. there was that difficult?
To clean it use a liquid and some salt, like you do for a BONG.
June 23rd, 2010 at 9:17 pm
You’d have to have a vacuum in the container part for this to work. Design fail…
June 27th, 2010 at 8:38 pm
For the people who think it is too much wine, I think it is supposed to be a unique way to share a glass of wine. Very romantic. And it would work without a vacuum. The diagram shows how.
August 16th, 2010 at 1:09 pm
How do you wash it?!
September 17th, 2010 at 9:24 pm
you wouldn’t have to FILL the resoviour with wine. the glass would still work with maybe slightly more than a normal glass, I bet
September 20th, 2010 at 9:38 pm
i think its a fine amount of wine for one sitting
September 25th, 2010 at 11:32 am
It looks like someone’s full bladder is going to explode to me. That’s just me though.
October 11th, 2010 at 2:08 am
GREATEST WINE GLASS EVER!!!! I DRINK THAT MUCH…..WHOEVER THINKS THIS DESIGN DOESN”T WORK – DOESN”T DESERVE A DEGREE! COMMON CENTS PEOPLE!
October 18th, 2010 at 8:34 pm
i think it would be a cool idea for a halloween party.
October 18th, 2010 at 9:26 pm
yea, common cents is good to have. that way you wont ever run out of change for the parking meter.
October 19th, 2010 at 1:06 am
“common cents”??^^^^
lol
Come on Kristen, you need to stay away from the [shift] key when you’re typing an apostrophe as well!
October 26th, 2010 at 7:27 am
To Veena… what about cleaning it?
October 26th, 2010 at 7:28 am
To Veena: and what about cleaning it?
October 29th, 2010 at 8:11 am
it looks like a freakin bong
October 29th, 2010 at 1:33 pm
How do you wash it? Wine needs to breathe.
Aesthetically awful.
October 29th, 2010 at 1:35 pm
Aesthetically awful. How does one wash it? Wine needs to breathe.
October 29th, 2010 at 1:45 pm
not functional…
October 31st, 2010 at 8:48 pm
Congratulations…. you took an instrument used all the time in a chemical laboratory and made it into a wine glass. Not impressed…
November 6th, 2010 at 7:36 am
this is the wine glass you leave your drunken cat when you go away for the weekend.
November 6th, 2010 at 11:40 am
Really? How do you fill it? Are you serious? Tilt it and pour the wine in…
November 6th, 2010 at 11:41 am
Really? “how do you fill it?” tilt it and pour the wine in…
November 6th, 2010 at 5:58 pm
ok for everyone who thinks its too big, go buy one, the bulb at the top isnt much bigger than the average wine glass, but the dingleberry cup hanging off the side is just a lot smaller which makes the other section of the glass look massive, i love these glasses, they trip people out haha
November 7th, 2010 at 4:58 pm
Wouldnt you hit the bulb part against your head when trying to take a big sip?
November 7th, 2010 at 9:47 pm
works like a toilet
November 8th, 2010 at 4:54 pm
$381.00 shipped to the USA from Japan….screw that! Cool enough to buy as a novelty item, but not for that much.
November 9th, 2010 at 12:29 am
reminds me of a water cistern(toilet bowl)
November 9th, 2010 at 1:27 am
though design is intricate, and stylish, the idea is flawed for 2 major reasons:
1. you are a wine connoisseur, in which case you are trying to release the sulfates from the wine by allowing the wine to ‘breathe’. The design itself allows little oxygen saturation.
2. you wish to get drunk, in which case that much wine will be ‘mission accomplished’, but in the end that design will most likely end up as broken glass
November 9th, 2010 at 9:48 am
i cannot believe! WOAAA
November 9th, 2010 at 9:48 am
i cannot believe! WOAAA
November 9th, 2010 at 11:59 am
It works on the same principle as the u-bend in a toilet, that’s right, you can now drink wine with the same convenience that a dog drinks water from a toilet, very classy…
November 9th, 2010 at 12:27 pm
One could drink anything from it , but to wash it you would need a pressure gadget.
November 9th, 2010 at 12:28 pm
HEEEEEEL YESSSSSSS
November 10th, 2010 at 12:17 pm
you all are repeatedly asking the SAME QUESTIONS! read each others comments. all the answers are in front of you. and to whoever it was that said “this will not work, i’ve built far too many bongs with this design, and they do not work.” really dude? are you retarded? it is the same concept as a dog water bowl. it does not leak or “shoot out” to everyone else, there are about 50 + comments telling how it works, how you clean it, and how you fill it…READ!
November 10th, 2010 at 4:48 pm
Stupid.
How do you clean it after use?
November 11th, 2010 at 2:06 am
does anybody see that the cup looks like a stomach intestine?
November 11th, 2010 at 2:28 am
Hell yes is right! Where can I get one?!?!?!?
November 11th, 2010 at 7:21 pm
Early posters are idiots… It’s not a full bottle. It’s a small drinking glass attached to a “generous” serving. Awesome for the science alone.
November 15th, 2010 at 4:29 am
FINALLY! A wine glass that can keep up with ME!
November 16th, 2010 at 12:28 am
*facepalm* you could put other stuff like juice water or pop in there too!! who says it’s just for wine? and it’s not gonna be super huge. to clean it turn the glass upright fill it half way with bleach water or soapy water or something and shake. to fill it jut tip the cup portion upright and pour. it’s not rocket science.
November 16th, 2010 at 9:08 pm
looks like a bong
November 18th, 2010 at 5:05 am
this’ll get ya drunk
November 19th, 2010 at 6:42 pm
You know what’s funner than drinking out of this?
Trying to wash it.
November 22nd, 2010 at 7:37 pm
Who DOESN’T drink a whole bottle of wine in one sitting? Let’s have a party and see how many of these glasses make it through the night…
November 23rd, 2010 at 4:17 pm
THis looks like a fermentation tube.
November 29th, 2010 at 9:16 am
How do i buy this?
December 17th, 2010 at 6:32 am
people asking how to refill this should get the fuck off the internet and go back to school.. dimlos
December 18th, 2010 at 4:55 pm
This would make a great Christmas gift please contact me if it is possible to order a set
December 18th, 2010 at 9:19 pm
i dont think that you’d have to fill it up all the way and secondly, you would fill the vessel by pouring the wine into the cup part like normal.
December 19th, 2010 at 2:09 am
lol… it looks like a bloodbag.
December 19th, 2010 at 2:42 am
the comments here are the funniest thing I’ve read today. I would love to see a statistical analysis of these reviews with select quoted replies. something like:
11% cant wait to buy one -”Who DOESN’T drink a whole bottle of wine in one sitting? ”
29% cant tell how to fill or clean it -”yeah, but how the hell do you get the drank in the sphere?”
22% think it looks like a bong – “looks like a bong!”
8% say toilet – “you can now drink wine with the same convenience that a dog drinks water from a toilet, very classy…”
2% see resemblence to internal organs – “It looks like someone’s full bladder is going to explode to me. That’s just me though”
December 19th, 2010 at 1:34 pm
Amusing but completely impractical.
February 16th, 2011 at 11:01 pm
really?
February 17th, 2011 at 4:57 pm
This is a wino’s dream. I would typically drink straight from the bottle but who could resist.
April 12th, 2011 at 8:38 pm
Who doesn’t drink that much wine?
May 23rd, 2011 at 6:57 pm
Where could you buy this?! This is genius!
July 13th, 2011 at 2:38 pm
Ok…for every redundant person asking how to fill it. You simply pour the wine into the same hole it comes out of.
It is a wine pourer not a wine glass for drinking out of, hence negating half of you describing it as a horrible device for hand talkers lol. Sincerely – CPT Obvious
July 29th, 2011 at 4:37 am
wouldnt it also be really hard to fill?
August 22nd, 2011 at 1:54 pm
Would it be hard to fill?
August 25th, 2011 at 8:01 am
cool…..but how do you clean it after use?
September 17th, 2011 at 9:34 pm
I WANT SOME WHERE DO I GET THEM!?
November 16th, 2011 at 7:43 pm
how do you fill it?
