Built in paper cups?? Convenient, yes, but does it not seem like a joke?

Well, how considerate and economical: a wine bottle that's also cheesy. Perfect for those romantic evenings, all fun and games until someone gets a paper cut.

Greatest invention in the wine industry since they started putting the stuff in boxes.

I like the fact that the cups don't have bottoms, so you have to drink all of the wine before you can set them down.

Apply it to a bag-in-box and you can supply a whole party with cups!

What? People don't drink straight off the bottle anymore?

If you're at the point in your life where voluntarily drinking wine out of a paper cup sounds like a good idea, you may as well just drink straight out of the bottle instead.

@ripfire4:

yeah, it´s better if u drink from the bottle to use those paper cups...
the paper will just fuck up with the wine taste...
but if it´s a bad wine... who cares!

@rbf2000: LMAO! Good point
I dont see this useful at all. Now wont the paper cups actually give it a bit more flavor???
Like bread in paper bags than in plastic bags has a better taste or am i the only person that's ever heard that.
I think its a bad idea all around because the plastic will eventually start coming off of the paper and then we all have a moist cup thats dripping your cheap wine onto your furniture. I say cheap because if you can afford high class wine you should ATLEAST have a dixie cup in the vicinity.

OH those kind of glasses. I was thinking you meant the kind that comes standard with beer.

@SneakerFiend:

i agree

Those glasses are real classy!
they actually test marketed them with a bunch of homeless hobos!

all you people complaining about the glasses, we know you have nice, shiny, expensive *glasses* (how fancy!!) to drink your wine in....but did you ever get barf bags free with your alcohol???!!!

how thoughtful!

Suck down that cheap hooch straight from the bottle like a good alcoholic!

@jibbly: ha ha ha, i hear you can do that with beer bottles too!

LOL!

Wine bottles never collect dust either.

@pradster:
"they actually test marketed them with a bunch of homeless hobos!"

They also tested on big giants, old grandmas, and corrupt politicians.

I ought to report you to the DRD.

@nutbastard: errr....whats the DRD?

What problem does this purport to solve? Are glasses or cups such a rare commodity, that the inventor imagines a world with infinite bottles of wine and nothing to pour them into? What strange apocalyptic event rids the world of its cups, and leaves everything else intact, making something like this even remotely useful? Is DARPA working on a EMP-like weapon that rids adversarial nations of their wine glasses?

They should make them out of plastic instead of paper. And then, I can see this being marketed towards picnics or other such outings.

Not exactly classy, but I can certainly see people buying it. Hmm, I'd probably buy it once just to have the amusement for an evening.

@frigg: They are trying to save your ass when you took your lady out to the woods, with a bottle of wine but no glasses.
now that would be sad!

I think they should go with a sales angle that you can now drink wine around fat opera singers without worrying about your glass shattering...

That, or you can drink it straight from the bottle and use the cup to piss in after. Hey it even has one for a friend!

@atomx: what do you do with the cup after you've pissed in it?

Hey aren't those the things you cook hot pockets in???

@pradster:
The Department of Redundancy Department.

@pradster: Ah yes, but the classy hobo doesn't waste time on beer. They go straight for the Night Train Express, all aboard to nowhere - woo woo!

@nutbastard: oh, do i need to whine about the lack of an edit button or will be kind to me and not report me this time?
:D

I really don't see how producing more paper-based, one time use, disposable products qualifies as "Green". Isn't it better to, you know, use the same glass over and over again? And WTF, you sits there HOLDING their 'glass' (read: Dixie Cup) of wine? How is this better than buying paper cups and say, some DECENT wine? But then, who would put DECENT wine in a fucking paper cup???

Wine: It's fine. Stop messing with it.

This remins me of Coppola Sofia in the 8.5z can with a straw. It ain't for swilling white zinfindel at the red lobster, but its great for that impromptu picnic in the park. Back country skiing. This way you do not have to drink out of the bottle in front of your lady friend. This is not for fine dining. After you piss in the cup you dump it out and throw it in a plastic bag. Easy to pack in and pack out. It really solves a lot of issues.

@pradster: Pour it back in the bottle of course!

@pradster:
I won't report you this time, next time I won't be so forgiving, but I won'report you this time, but you'd better watch out next time.

Source Article: "This design should, for the moment, exonerate you from your crusty goblets."

No, thank you. My collection of aged, unwashed chalices makes me feel like Sean Connery in Indiana Jones. Don't take away my favored Monday night ritual, Viktor Pucsek

@pradster: I stand corrected!

@frigg: "What problem does this purport to solve?"

Shhhh! That's the tagline over at Yanko Design.

I got married last summer in Porto and I had to be careful not to drink too much of this stuff before my toast (which I had to say in Portuguese)... This type of wine has a nice, light flavor but will get you hammered easily.

@johnnyabnormal:
Congrats... on your wedding AND your temperance... Porto is beautiful... felicidade !

@ANoel: Thanks. My wife is Portuguese and I was paranoid I'd schlur my toast if I drank too much. It's hard enough to speak it properly if you're sober. The wedding was at the Taylor port winery...it was pretty amazing. I made sure to bring back some tawny port vintages from the 70's too. Good stuff.
