@JT954 They do have mixed cases every now and then. Like from Scott Harvey, Pedroncelli, Stillman Brown, Ty Caton, Twisted Oak, etc. Folks that have some varietals or verticals in their cellars to make room for more.
@JT954 Check out the Casemates forums for reviews and camaraderie, then hopefully find some casemates near you to split cases and have casemates parties with…

@mike808 the theocracy is strong here. I do always vote against the R here, but there’s a lot of blind Faith and not a lot of independent thought in much of the the state.
@Lighter Yeah, seems inevitable. I was wondering about that survey they put up recently, asking how many sales per week people would prefer. Plus it’s the same people who led wine.woot from one weekly sale in the beginning all the way through to seven.
Am I the only one that wondered why a CD Case/Booklet company had branded wine glasses? Not like I’ve used a CD in 15 years, but, come to find out, CaseMates is actually a wine company.
This is the most Meh-y Meh that ever Meh-d… and there have been some real lack-luster Mehs in the past. They are literally trying to sell you advertisement. The glasses are advertisement. The coupons are advertisement…and not even a particularly good deal at that.
I suppose it’s an OK promo for CaseMates-- but I’m at Meh. I don’t shop Meh to shop CaseMates. If I wanted CaseMates I have the URL. Offer your deals there. Not here. This is not cool.
@Aristocracy@dxgord Or maybe they’re just trying a creative and clever way to broaden their user base at some of their other properties. If it helps maintain or grow their business(es), I’m all for it. It’s a win-win deal for everyone involved.
@shahnm Yes, it is obvious that meh is trying to broaden their base. I would just prefer if they did so without eroding meh’s core function. I do not find it creative nor clever-- I find it cheap. I also do not believe it is win/win. I feel like it is an attempt to bolster one brand at the expense of another.
I understand it is part of meh’s charter that they experiment. I do not fault them the experiment. I happen to enjoy meh, but too many offerings like this will ruin the site for me. I comment nice things when I have them to say, but this was a criticism I wanted them to hear-- not for their sake, but for my own so I can continue to enjoy meh.
@RedOak This deal is different from a typical meh deal for reasons already outlined. Usually, I can hit the meh button, get a chuckle from the copy and the funny pic and move on. But this departure from the usual meh business model, I feel, warranted comment.
@mike808@reclaimercube Is that a coveted Pop Socket? For months now I have been wondering what it was. I was picturing some sort of ice-cube tray or Jello mold that made meh faces.
@Aristocracy@RedOak That’s fair. I hope you didn’t take my comment personally. I disagree with your position, but of course you have every right to it. I don’t feel that Meh has overplayed this departure from their usual thing, and an occasional foray into something different like this is entirely acceptable in my opinion.
If they get to the point of “too many offerings” of this kind, I’ll start to agree with you, as I imagine will a lot of the frequent Meh-ers. But this seems to have been a one time thing, and this being Meh, I am happy to spot them and consider it one of their perfectly in-character quirks. Time will tell, I guess…
and there have been some real lack-luster Mehs in the past.
Did you start a new handle September 2018 or are you that new here?
You certainly have right to your opinion but I see very little, if anything, about this deal that isn’t completely in character for Meh.
Indeed, not being an Internet wine buyer myself, I took advantage of the Mediocre corporate “bribe” to Kickstart Casemates. $60 for a year of VMP + $30 in Meh or Casemates coupon codes. Half-price VMP. Oh, and I might have “bought” (it was included) some Casemate advertising in the form of a Casemates tshirt.
The glasses are decent enough. I’ve used the two I got out of my Casemates kickstarter backer rewards. I’ve only made one or two purchases off Casemates since but doesn’t mean I don’t still check it out to see what’s forthcoming with each new release.
@eanvick it’s not a physical coupon. From the write up:
If you buy these, you can use the coupon code MEHSENTME starting next week on Casemates. Use it on your first Casemates purchase for the first $8 coupon, and again on your next purchase for your second $8 coupon.
@carl669 pretty sure there are more drawbacks from stemless. Stems are used to keep the warmth of your hands from changing the temp of the wine as well as fingerprints left on the glass. I still prefer stemless though because they are indeed less fiddly.
These remind me of Bormioli Michelangelo stemless wine glasses. They’re my favorite pattern for everyday regular glasses. They fit in your hand just right.
Isn’t a stemless wine glasses kinda like a shaftless falice? I mean, the important part is still present, but how do you grab the thing? I drank an entire bottle of wine out of stemware the other night by myself, minus a splash for the roast, and I didn’t spill a drop or drop the glass. Also, storage has never been overly difficult. What problem is this the solution for? There is simply no appeal to me for a thing you grasp with the graspy part removed. ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Pardon my ignorance, but does Casemates sell anything other than wine? Other barware? ?? I don’t drink, but I like the glasses. Just would want to use the coupons on…something.
Thanks.
@RedOak and the 1 year coupon expiration, so if they never sell anything for cheap, folks won’t use the coupons. I’m waiting for them to sell a casemates branded bottle opener for $10.
Can I find a few case mates to split a case with that way I can get a free bottle using my coupon?
@medz@RedOak If I’m remembering correctly, a big reason they implemented the “Whisper” chat was so you winos could negotiate the particulars of splitting cases. Like the name sez: Case “mates”
I don’t go over there into their forums but there may be some new coupon people who haven’t met you yet.
I wonder if any of them could be enticed into a card game of some sort?
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@RiotDemon@thechinglish this is why you got promoted Riot. Keep owning it. Great job spreading the word and news. (No sarcasm. Entirely serious. Good on you and great for the community.)
@Bumplepimp - Depends how cold they are at the time.
Thermal stress
Another potential cause of spontaneous glass breakage is thermal stress. Thermally induced stresses in glass are caused by a positive temperature difference between the center and edge of the glass lite, meaning the former is hotter than the latter. The expansion of the heated glass center results in tensile stress at the edge of the glass. If the thermally induced stress exceeds the edge strength of the glass, breakage occurs.
@Limewater@medz if your work is blocking it, maybe you shouldn’t violate policy and visit casemates when you’re not on the company dime using their computers.
FYI, I am a PKI (certificates) expert, and Casemates cert is from Comodo, a well known CA (Certificate Authority) that has been around for a while. They do use a wildcard cert, which could be a problem for some spectacularly braindead filtering proxy functions or a workplace InfoSec policy if you work at a big enterprise company.
For Casemates:
I do recommend that Casemates at least get a separate cert (or better, a SAN cert if they’re wanting to combine service endpoints) for the specific hostnames they want to expose to the public worldwide Internet. And definitely use a different cert/hostname for any admin/privileged service endpoints to separate the security privileges. A wildcard cert is just asking for trouble. Internally, for elastic/dynamic cloud hosts, mehbe its ok, but not best practice.
Just IMHO.
@dave@sammydog01 Hmm, must have been that one wine i wanted to order last week. Don’t remember which one now, but I had been waiting to buy one for a while, and of course the day i decided to order was the day it wasn’t able to be shipped to CT. I shall try again at some point, thanks!
I have a serious question…dont you have to be a member to buy the wine? So you’d get billed monthly for the membership while you’re waiting to use an $8 coupon?
@arfdawg you don’t have to sign up to be a member to buy wine. Or, if you do sign up, you can cancel before the month is out. If you don’t become a member, you’ll pay the regular shipping rate.
Do they have the glasses with Stems? I likes stems! Not as much as the wine though. I think I would be tempted to put some Jamison & son Irish Whiskey in the stemless glass!! Maybe, some good Tiquila, or 12yr old George Dickle!
@d1575 it’s not a physical coupon. From the write up:
If you buy these, you can use the coupon code MEHSENTME starting next week on Casemates. Use it on your first Casemates purchase for the first $8 coupon, and again on your next purchase for your second $8 coupon.
Got the glasses. Two of them are defective (all arrived intact, but with glass blemishes, such as air bubbles and other imperfections). Also, no sign of coupons. Are these supposed to be sent via email?
I’m really torn here. If there’s one thing I don’t need, it’s more glassware. On the other hand, you’re giving me two coupons for something I’m going to buy anyway, making the glassware free… My wife is going to kill me…
@shahnm fill the glassware with batteries and then put the entire mess in the back of the fridge and she will never notice.
@Kidsandliz
@shahnm Casemates is meh for wine.
@Hanky Sure, some of their wine is meh, but some of it is woot!
@shahnm-she probably shoulda done that long ago! Of course, if you wanna beat her to the punch,…just an idea!!
wine was meant to be drank out of red solo cups. I don’t care what anyone else says.
@carl669 wine was meant to be drank out of a growler
@carl669 @reclaimercube I’m pretty sure you’re supposed to drink it straight from the box. That’s why it has a handle.
@carl669 Nope, wide mouth mason jars.
@goldnectar

Are there any shared like Pringles cans?

@katsuronishi My thinking exactly.
I bought a set. Now you owe me a Casemates special that’s cheap enough to make this a good deal. (FYI I like the sweet pink stuff.)

I already have 3 of the glasses from the QPR offering last month, and I definitely do not need more glassware.
I also have way too much wine at the moment, probably enough to last me a few years.
Still tempted to buy though and just give the glasses away…
And there is an exchange coming up…
Promise a wine or beer sampler set and I’ll definitely consider it. I don’t drink much so I wouldn’t know what to get.
@JT954 They do have mixed cases every now and then. Like from Scott Harvey, Pedroncelli, Stillman Brown, Ty Caton, Twisted Oak, etc. Folks that have some varietals or verticals in their cellars to make room for more.

@jeffcohen margarita?
@alacrity why yes, I’ll have one as long as you’re making them.
This is why I don’t pay for expensive wines:
I find it cheaper and better to just sample a bunch of different sub-$15 wines and go back for the ones I like.
I suppose I should add, buying half a case or a full case online isn’t my idea of economical sampling
@davecort ZTheir business model encourages splitting cases - hence their name.

Clever cross-site promo. Especially the matching price and coupon values. And requiring two buys to get the coupon value back.

@KMakato Today’s wine ships to CT- that’s Connecticut, right?
@KMakato It does vary by winery but Connecticut is pretty regularly allowed, I believe. https://freethegrapes.org/find-your-state/
@dave @sammydog01 Hmm, must have been that one wine i wanted to order last week. Don’t remember which one now, but I had been waiting to buy one for a while, and of course the day i decided to order was the day it wasn’t able to be shipped to CT. I shall try again at some point, thanks!
My wife only drinks Sauvignon Blanc, I had to Google to spell it right. But does casemates sell that often enough?
@Bigbearballs according to a little control F search
3 times so far in the past 6 months

@communist thank you, that’s not very much
I have a serious question…dont you have to be a member to buy the wine? So you’d get billed monthly for the membership while you’re waiting to use an $8 coupon?
@arfdawg you don’t have to sign up to be a member to buy wine. Or, if you do sign up, you can cancel before the month is out. If you don’t become a member, you’ll pay the regular shipping rate.
You volmodded the hell out of that answer @RiotDemon!
@therealjrn thanks. I thought I butchered that reply and I’m waiting for follow up questions, lol.
@RiotDemon @therealjrn But if I cancel before I sign up then is the shipping rate the same before the month is out? Or only if I drink the wine?

Do they have the glasses with Stems? I likes stems! Not as much as the wine though. I think I would be tempted to put some Jamison & son Irish Whiskey in the stemless glass!! Maybe, some good Tiquila, or 12yr old George Dickle!
Don’t need more of these glasses (they are nice) but I will use the coupons and get free shipping, so…
/giphy lyrical yucky pear
When do we get the coupons?
@d1575 it’s not a physical coupon. From the write up:
It’s been a week, so hopefully it’s active now.
@d1575 @RiotDemon
mine worked
ordered Angel Eis
@Cerridwyn That stuff looked like something I might actually drink and it was sold out by morning.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Got the glasses. Two of them are defective (all arrived intact, but with glass blemishes, such as air bubbles and other imperfections). Also, no sign of coupons. Are these supposed to be sent via email?
@salpo try coupon MEHSENTME over on casemates.com. Equates to only a 14% discount on today’s offer, however.
@medz that’s a good discount! Too bad they don’t send today’s offer to my state
