Just because you can doesn't mean you should.

Beer lovers have a myriad of different gadgets for looking like a complete jackass while drinking; liquor enthusiasts have novelty shot glasses. Wine drinkers, however, have the unfortunate distinction of looking consistantly refined and dignified. Even a wino drinking out of a paper bag exudes a certain gritty, old-world charm. So what is a tasteless wine connoisseur to do?

How about an unwieldy balloon bladder that pisses wine into a melted glass reservoir?



According to makers Kyouei Design, "it is a glass for drinking a lot."
You mean like a bottle? And speaking of bottles, is it really that difficult to just refill your stupid wine glass? And how are you supposed to hold this thing? A bottle of wine is pretty heavy; wouldn't it crack at the stem as soon as it was tilted? And if by some miracle you make it through an entire glass without the thing shattering in your hands, how are you supposed to clean it out?
And it doesn't even look nice! Winos, stick to the bottle - it's tried and true and it doesn't make you look like some sort of vampire clown.

  1. Haha, seriously, how much of an alcoholic do you need to be that you have to use this to drink a whole bottle of wine?

    If I ever I saw someone walking around a party with this in their hand I would laugh, walk into the kitchen, bring back a bottle and tell them "You just wasted $40 when you could have just done this!" and I would take a swig from that very bottle.
