These are made with XLT XLASTING treatment, which is supposed to make them break-resistant. The official testing video is pretty impressive:
But of course a video made by the people selling these would only prove their claims. We’re not quite that gullible so we figured we’d do our own extremely professional and very scientific tests and see just how break-resistant they really are.
NOTE: DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME. LIKE SERIOUSLY.
ALSO NOTE: @harrison willfully volunteered and is totally fine (at least physically).
The result was some very Mediocre scientific testing:
@ChadP@Moose@Thumperchick Was there pre-shoot discussion of William Tell style? Thought maybe that's why the hat. Because it doesn't protect the beard.
@JonT It's all fun and games until someone loses an eye. I never thought I'd say that in all seriousness. What the fuck were you thinking? @harrison was a split second from a shard of glass in the retina. If you worked anywhere else you wouldn't be working there any more. That was some dumb shit.
@Kleineleh if we had taken any more time on prep for this we probably would have realized what a terrible idea it was and not done it, for better or for worse
@harrison I woke up this morning and this was still freaking me out. At my job we work with high temperature, high pressure, loud noise, dangerous chemicals, and radiation. We have serious discussions about workplace safety because people's sight and lives depend on everyone doing their job correctly and looking out for everyone else. If someone where I work made a video like that, everyone in that video would be looking for a new job today. Please be more careful. No job is worth being damaged for life.
Maybe I'm too much of an engineer. I was more appalled at the crappiness of the test rig than the utter lack of concern for safety that @harrison had. Although definitely, safety goggles are your friend. Much cheaper than facial reconstruction or eye surgery.
@SSteve et. al. It's probably just me, and while safety glasses would probably have been a good call, given the guys glasses, beard and jacket, and the velocity of the flying glass, not that big of a deal. I'd say it's probably more dangerous dropping a glass on a ceramic floor while not wearing any glasses at all and being barefoot. I once dropped a glass bottle in my kitchen and shard of glass ended up on top of the upper cabinets on the other side of the room... I do however have a suggestion: Next time try explosives!
@Tiamat114 I do the same thing with a double shot whisky glass someone left at my work one time. It makes me feel like a hard boiled noir detective. You know. Drinking milk.
@cengland0 Yeah...that was rushed. The first link was to the original png here on meh. It didn't embed. So I saved as a jpeg and uploaded to imgur but forgot to put the extension. Right after my edit the edit button was gone. Permanent record of my fail.
@sskim3 I really liked them. No seam lines and pretty good quality at low cost. Bormioli glasses sometimes run a lil small though. The ones offered now seem to be a good size.
I believe in being a generous host, everyone gets their own bottle to drink from. If anyone asks for a glass I have my meh Stanley insulated travel mugs or Ball jars.
I'll have to pass, these are a little too expensive to smash on the hearth after a rousing toast. If they were polycarbonate and half the price I'd buy em
Nah, we had wine glassed as our wedding favors and still have a few unopened boxes. I also tend to drink my moscato out of a chilled pilsner glass, because I'm classy.
Gah... You've caught me between paydays! I'm pretentious enough to want all these wine glasses but not rich enough to be able to buy them on a whim. Damn it all!
@Moose That's sure enough for me -- I'm still only 50% sure I want them (plus a definite "no" from the girlfriend -- so maybe 49% sure) regardless. Thanks!
@johnamo Yes, there is a missing "l", isn't there? Maybe these are cheap knock-offs of real Bormioli Roccos like "Roley" or "Brietling" watches. That's what @snapster gets for buying them off the back of a truck in a parking lot by the airport.
@rdaviero Yeah I'd like to buy them instead of all my friends "permanently borrowing them" from restaurants and bars...they are old enough to know better... but apparently not smart enough to ask for Meh to sell them!! I don't want to turn into a Klepto!
@cercopithecoid Generally red has a larger opening or at least is shaped so that there's more surface area exposed to air because red wine needs to breathe. White wine glass expose less surface to air so that the wine maintains its cooler temperature. But whether or not it makes a difference really depends on who is doing the drinking. Personally, I don't think I can tell the difference between the same wine in differently shaped glasses. But I'm sure some people can. Like everything else involving wine (and the money associated with it) people can go completely overboard. Reidel claims that every varietal should have it's own shape. Of course that's because they want you to buy more glasses. Here's a good no-nonsense article about wine glass shapes.
AAAAAA!! If only I would have bought those Built NY sleeves. They would have been great for storing this stemware in. Walking away from that deal will haunt me forever.
@Michaelforman Replying to myself because of my hypnotic stare. I seriously bought two of these and I'm entitled to them. Where are all the apologists to tell me that I'm entitled? Where are the lackeys to post thumbs up gifs?
@Michaelforman I like you. you self entitled west(east?) coast asshole. eat a dick and fuck you and, and...yeah I'm all done. congrats on beating the sucky servers to score these sweet glasses, they deserve you. Yours truly, "K badge" elistist lab rat #412
I just looked at my wine glass hoard and I have a set of this brand I got at Ross -6 for $20. They are really nice glasses and hold up well for everyday use (=lush). Mine are for Bordeaux (=wine snob), so I may need to get these. I'm very picky about the rim, but these are not too bad. If they're still around when impulse strikes...
@lumpthar ...well...yes and no...some of us are super tired working single mom's and 11 is WAY past our beditme! But to save money we gots to do what we gots to do!! So Meh makes me even more tired than I already am!! I think I need to become a coffee drinker...now I just need Meh to sell one cheap....
@Purplefroggie Yes, I agree. We do what we gotsta do. I wait until 5:30 in the morning when I get up to see if something that I didn't really need sold out before I could buy it.
You know I think I'd be down for these if it wasn't an assortment. I don't really need 3 different varieties. But I'd take 18 in one style. It'd be perfect for hosting big groups. And the glasses look amazing too.
@daveJay that is a big group, most of us don't have 18 friends and if we do they don't care what they drink out of ...there are still mant PBR drinkers out there. I am not one of them, I am a little more classy..I like Keystone Light..in a red solo cup...ha!
@Purplefroggie Granted we don't have that many people very often at all. Mostly family gatherings and the very very very occasional dinner with a group of friends. But in those moments, it'd be nice to have a big set, and also an allowance for breakage.
@daveJay no I agree, I like the Riedel's. I never understood why peple registered for $50 each...for stemware. Crystal is so heavy who wants to lug that heavy thing around? Not to mention I would want to stab myself with the shards if I ever drop and broke one? This set form Meh is nice, but yeah you would have to buy many sets just to get all of the same, then where the hell ya gonna put them all? I do agree life is too short to drink from crappy glasses, but no need for $50 glass. Many alternatives, and my wine tatses the same in a $50 glas as it does in a $5 glass, with less worry and stress over breakage!
@daveJay fill them with chocolates and you have a hostess gift? or add a gift card with the chocolates or a bottle of wine and you have a Bday or Xmas gift...etc?
@communist in the midwest we are more laid back we use a wine glass, a red solo cup, a dixie cup....we can't afford the nice wines but we can drink like they are expenisve or spend more on wine and less on fancy glasses!
@communist by the way, did you grab one of your rocks outside your front door as a pet? I am sure your niece would be thrilled to have her Uncle have a wonderful thing in common with her!
Do you have any pictures of the red glasses? I am assuming the one pictured are supposed to be "White". Where are these red glasses though? Not going to buy a color I havent seen yet!
@bruinscbr Well... "red" glasses hold a larger volume (18.5 ounces). "White" glasses contain less (15 oz). Red/white isn't the glass color, it's the size of the glass.
Remember the 'packtastrophe?' Well we don't want that to happen again so we are taking our time shipping these to ensure they all go out with plenty of dunnage to mitigate the amount of breakage you all encounter in transit.
Our goal is to have all of the orders out within the next few days, hopefully by the end of day Wednesday, but don't hold us to that.
The good news is we've learned our lesson from the epic fail that was the packtasrophe and are taking the appropriate steps to make sure you get all 18 of your wine glasses in tact instead of some odd percentage of actual wine glasses vs. glass dust.
The bad news is that all those new bottles of wine you bought in preparation of the arrival of your order will have to age a few more days before they get the chance to breathe.
In the mean time, please enjoy these pictures of cats and wine:
As always, feel free to shoot us a message at meh.com/support if you have any questions.
@MEHcus Yay! I keep checking my fukubukuro shipping because I figured that would happen before the glasses, but it's the glasses that I'm feeling impatient about. Thanks for the update and the kitty pics!

@mediocrebot I love purple.

ALSO NOTE: @harrison willfully volunteered and is totally fine (at least physically).
The result was some very Mediocre scientific testing:
@JonT Thanks for the Mediocre labs test report! Very informative
@JonT Awesome- you guys are like the Mehbusters!
@Douglas_D That's what we're here for.
@JonT
@JonT That was a terrible idea. I'm glad @harrison is okay and doesn't have glass shards stuck in his face.
@Thumperchick it really was.
@Thumperchick Nah. Granted he'll be picking out bits from his beard for months but his face is fine.
@Thumperchick golden hour + beard + glass = beautiful dumb video
@ChadP @Moose @Thumperchick Was there pre-shoot discussion of William Tell style? Thought maybe that's why the hat. Because it doesn't protect the beard.
@JonT I hope @harrison got a bonus for this.
@Dash we'll buy his lunch for a week, at least.
@Dash if anything @shawn is questioning whether I'm intelligent enough to be working on our site code
@JonT holding you to this
@JonT I had no interest in these but now that I see them tested, I am going to have to think about it.
@JonT It's all fun and games until someone loses an eye. I never thought I'd say that in all seriousness. What the fuck were you thinking? @harrison was a split second from a shard of glass in the retina. If you worked anywhere else you wouldn't be working there any more. That was some dumb shit.
@SSteve honestly, i think we all had this exact thought mid-club swing
The video came out great but this is definitely in the top 3 of worst decisions i've ever made
@harrison Did dropping the glass on concrete or tile break it? Thats the only time i can see this protection being useful.
@JonT Now we know how all those travel mugs really broke
Also, @harrison, I'm pretty sure Altex sells safety glasses. Just sayin'...
@Kleineleh if we had taken any more time on prep for this we probably would have realized what a terrible idea it was and not done it, for better or for worse
@JonT was that @MEHcus taking the swing at the glass? If so, he should be buying the lunches for @harrison since he had the most fun!
@RedOak No comment
@harrison I woke up this morning and this was still freaking me out. At my job we work with high temperature, high pressure, loud noise, dangerous chemicals, and radiation. We have serious discussions about workplace safety because people's sight and lives depend on everyone doing their job correctly and looking out for everyone else. If someone where I work made a video like that, everyone in that video would be looking for a new job today. Please be more careful. No job is worth being damaged for life.
@JonT i think it's time we invest in some safety goggles to keep around the office.
@katylava ... And a safety helmet as well so folks with less accuracy than @MEHcus can have some fun as well.
Maybe I'm too much of an engineer. I was more appalled at the crappiness of the test rig than the utter lack of concern for safety that @harrison had. Although definitely, safety goggles are your friend. Much cheaper than facial reconstruction or eye surgery.
@SSteve et. al. It's probably just me, and while safety glasses would probably have been a good call, given the guys glasses, beard and jacket, and the velocity of the flying glass, not that big of a deal. I'd say it's probably more dangerous dropping a glass on a ceramic floor while not wearing any glasses at all and being barefoot. I once dropped a glass bottle in my kitchen and shard of glass ended up on top of the upper cabinets on the other side of the room... I do however have a suggestion: Next time try explosives!
@katylava @harrison Yes, Uline sells glasses, hard hats, & face shields, just tack a few on to your next box order to have on hand.
I mean... no, you should stop endangering yourselves for our entertainment. Yeah, that's what I meant to say...
this is the worst
Nope, thanks anyway.
You know what, I'm good. I'll let someone else have my glasses, because I'm nice that way.
I like this more truly "meh" offering. I hope people stay away from this site. I like it just for me.

@Lotsofgoats chardonmeh
@vampje oh I see you're a sommehlier
@Lotsofgoats mehlbec
@Lotsofgoats Meh teus Rose
@Zebra white mehfindel
I love purple.

(somewhat) more useful than a set of 30 neoprene covers. Still... Meh
How much for the kinex?
As a grad student, I can't afford the proper liquids to use these for. I'll try again in a year!
@classysolo that's funny.......been there.
@classysolo Dude!
@jseay65 That box tops out at solo cup level.
@jseay65 I'd be lying if I said I didn't drink wine from a box at least 6 times last semester. At least I didn't make it to 18!
@jseay65 You must endure the coveted Tour de Franzia
@classysolo Two buck Chuck. http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Shaw_wine
Like we have friends to share with...
I don't drink wine, but I do enjoy drinking milk out of the one and only wine glass I own that I got for free so I can feel fancy sometimes.
@Tiamat114 adorbz
@Tiamat114 I do the same thing with a double shot whisky glass someone left at my work one time. It makes me feel like a hard boiled noir detective. You know. Drinking milk.
That's a lot of wine glasses. I don't even have that many friends.
No room for these
How much for the black T-shirt with the game pieces?
Meh....have fun finding these in your fuku bags
bath
@zgranowitz much bath
@zgranowitz so much bath
@zgranowitz the most bath
@zgranowitz
One word: Dunnage.
Thanks... and now back to reading the wonderfully transparent OHSHIT report and resulting dialog... https://meh.com/forum/topics/ohshit-report-fukubukuro-4
are these "ion strong diamant " as shown in
Great for my fine Franzia wines!
@brotendo64 Remove bladder from box, strap to sissy bar, motorcycle road trip!
@mehjohnson Plug IV into arm and ready to cruise!
so clean.
so pure.
so clear.
so ...boring.
...actually, these would be perfect to etch the 'meh' logo into.
...I would have bought them, then.
:-/
.
@epicpoptart Those would be perfect for serving the mediocre wines that I normally buy!
Wedding present?
@Teripie as long as the couple doesnt know you are meh...
Man, I was just thinking the other day that I would be excited if you had some nice crystal glasses... but now I just... meh.
No purple. For that alone, meh.
@heartny I love purple.
I just drink wine out of these now. I'm good. Thanks. http://imgur.com/S2MU0b6
@potestasx FYI, if you add the jpg to the end, it would have embedded the photo.
@potestasx I bought 2 sets of each color , so that is a damn good idea! easy to travel with and conceal while walking around town
@cengland0 Yeah...that was rushed. The first link was to the original png here on meh. It didn't embed. So I saved as a jpeg and uploaded to imgur but forgot to put the extension. Right after my edit the edit button was gone. Permanent record of my fail.
I filled my house with so many neoprene sleeves I now have no space for friends
Meh. Already got 3 sets of 4 Bormioli glasses the last time.
@Keyeno how did you like the quality of the glasses
@sskim3 I really liked them. No seam lines and pretty good quality at low cost. Bormioli glasses sometimes run a lil small though. The ones offered now seem to be a good size.
In case anyone needs to brush up on their etiquette.
@jseay65 @PeeweeHerman is their waiter! They even let him wear a bow-tie.
how about instead of these wine glasses you send me that fukurykumuku bag i wanted the other day?
You know, most of these commentators could use a set of whine glasses.
@Konraden I see what you did there.
@Konraden commehntators?
Meh, advertised as red and white but they all look clear to me.
I love purple.
wtf?
Tacos.
I believe in being a generous host, everyone gets their own bottle to drink from. If anyone asks for a glass I have my meh Stanley insulated travel mugs or Ball jars.
I'm down to a single wine glass in the house that hasn't committed suicide... I'm going to have to think about this one.
Please say box size.
@yeondoo "box size"
I'll have to pass, these are a little too expensive to smash on the hearth after a rousing toast.
If they were polycarbonate and half the price I'd buy em
In for one as a gift, since they look moderately decent. And anyway, I'll have a BuiltNY neoprene glass protector for each one!
@khunjeff GENIUS idea! I will build coozies for every glass I own.
I get my wine glasses at the thrift store because I'm classy like that.
Talk to me when these are ~$1 apiece.
Ewww MEH. Really? Bring the damn fukubukuro back. Ugh.
It appears I've accidentally stumbled in to wine.meh.com
Nah, we had wine glassed as our wedding favors and still have a few unopened boxes. I also tend to drink my moscato out of a chilled pilsner glass, because I'm classy.
so epic.
Meh, too many glasses I already have. Although the brand is good for the price.
Meh. Who needs glasses?
@hippiechik Awe!
These glasses do not have pagination. I'm out.
Gah... You've caught me between paydays! I'm pretentious enough to want all these wine glasses but not rich enough to be able to buy them on a whim. Damn it all!
@JonT Kind of a pretentious question, but do these have a logo or anything etched in the base?
@johnamo I'll check on that for you tomorrow but I can't say I remember right now, sorry!
@JonT Okay, thank you!
@johnamo I'm like 87% sure that there's nothing.
@Moose That's sure enough for me -- I'm still only 50% sure I want them (plus a definite "no" from the girlfriend -- so maybe 49% sure) regardless. Thanks!
@johnamo I was 87% wrong! There is a small, lightly etched logo on the base.
@Moose Enhance!
@SSteve looks like they left out an "i" or "l" at the end of their own name...
@johnamo Yes, there is a missing "l", isn't there? Maybe these are cheap knock-offs of real Bormioli Roccos like "Roley" or "Brietling" watches. That's what @snapster gets for buying them off the back of a truck in a parking lot by the airport.
These would be great to use for target practice. I'll bet a 30-06 round would be spectacular.
how about a set of 18 Moscow Mule mugs for $36 ..ha!
@Purplefroggie I'd get down on that deal. Copper mugs are expensive!
@rdaviero Yeah I'd like to buy them instead of all my friends "permanently borrowing them" from restaurants and bars...they are old enough to know better... but apparently not smart enough to ask for Meh to sell them!! I don't want to turn into a Klepto!
@Purplefroggie only if they get real copper mugs... none of that steel or nickel plated shit....
@sskim3 I agree Moscow Mules are much better when it tastes and smells like you are drinking it from a large penny .. ;-)
@Purplefroggie Sorry you missed it (7.26.2014) https://meh.com/deals/4-pack-moscow-mule-mugs
@gio Damn...I didn't even know Meh existed back then....
wine glasses?
pls.
Call me when you have a set of Riedels.
@huja Man, those are already so cheap on Amazon.
Maybe a fairer comparison - 8 Electra glasses sold for $19.99 at Costco - and were on clearance for 14.97
http://costcocouple.com/bormioli-rocco-electra-wine-stemware-set/
@datruandi nice deal
I didn't know there was a difference between glasses for white and glasses for red. What is the difference?
@cercopithecoid One is full of red wine and the other is full of white.
@HELLOALICE @cercopithecoid at my house they never stay full of anything very long!
@cercopithecoid White wine glasses are smaller.
@cercopithecoid Generally red has a larger opening or at least is shaped so that there's more surface area exposed to air because red wine needs to breathe. White wine glass expose less surface to air so that the wine maintains its cooler temperature. But whether or not it makes a difference really depends on who is doing the drinking. Personally, I don't think I can tell the difference between the same wine in differently shaped glasses. But I'm sure some people can. Like everything else involving wine (and the money associated with it) people can go completely overboard. Reidel claims that every varietal should have it's own shape. Of course that's because they want you to buy more glasses. Here's a good no-nonsense article about wine glass shapes.
@SSteve Arrgh. Timeout prevented me from fixing typos:
I love purple.
@SSteve yeah yeah..it's realy because of all the wine you are trying to drink in all the differently shaped glasses....
If I had 18 in-person friends, do you think I'd be spending time on meh?
Write-up, video excellent. Product, meh. I only drink vodka at home, poured into the orange juice bottle.
@HELLOALICE that is a great time saver....
@HELLOALICE What do you do with the excess orange juice?
@HELLOALICE What is your preferred vodka brand?
AAAAAA!! If only I would have bought those Built NY sleeves. They would have been great for storing this stemware in.
Walking away from that deal will haunt me forever.
@wew you can have some of my 60....
who misses rock speakers?
@communist Idk about rock speakers..but does my pet rock count?
@Purplefroggie do you have a picture? my niece has 4 pet rocks she keeps in her room
@communist no but if you go outside mine looks similar to those
@communist wait...that sounded kind of staker-ish..haha
@Purplefroggie stalker? nahhh just pm me your home and work address?
@communist no need, I already know yours....
It becomes a good deal if it gets near $1.5 per glass, Costco is $2.5 per glass regular price (when they carry it). $2 per glass is OK, but not great.
I prefer plastic. Well, actually, I broke all the glass. And not using a fancy hammer or golf club. Just a good old tile floor.
@hchavers I believe it is classier, and safer just to red solo cup it
I like purple.
Wow. The glasses are gorgeous. I purchased two sets for our supper club. Thanks meh. I am entitled to these.
@Michaelforman Replying to myself because of my hypnotic stare. I seriously bought two of these and I'm entitled to them. Where are all the apologists to tell me that I'm entitled? Where are the lackeys to post thumbs up gifs?
@Michaelforman You're going to fit in well here.
@Michaelforman I like you. you self entitled west(east?) coast asshole. eat a dick and fuck you and, and...yeah I'm all done. congrats on beating the sucky servers to score these sweet glasses, they deserve you. Yours truly, "K badge" elistist lab rat #412
@Michaelforman You are entitled... to receive the goods you paid for. :)
Please. Like anyone that visits this website doesn't drink right from the bottle.
But will these fit right in the bag?
@2many2no Snork!!!
I just looked at my wine glass hoard and I have a set of this brand I got at Ross -6 for $20. They are really nice glasses and hold up well for everyday use (=lush). Mine are for Bordeaux (=wine snob), so I may need to get these. I'm very picky about the rim, but these are not too bad. If they're still around when impulse strikes...
@Zebra Hey!..... we have that hanging in the main break room.
This is the most meh of all the mehs.
Thinking about 3 sets. I plan on setting up a sales table outside the synagogue for those unprepared for Jewish weddings.
@Cinoclav good idea, except you want the glasses without the "XLT XLASTING treatment" on these meh glasses:
These are all I need !
@Zebra spoon is all you need
@Zebra Dang! I didn't know they made those, I would've had a much easier time Xmas shopping this year...
@Zebra Mmm hmm. Perfect for mah 'shine.
@Zebra I got those for my parents a few years ago and they fight over who gets to drink their margaritas out of them.
What, no speaker docks again?
@clyde2801 you won't have to wait long, they will be back 11pm central..
@Purplefroggie You Centralites have it so easy. Us Easters have to stay up till midnight! NOT FAIR.
@lumpthar ...well...yes and no...some of us are super tired working single mom's and 11 is WAY past our beditme! But to save money we gots to do what we gots to do!! So Meh makes me even more tired than I already am!! I think I need to become a coffee drinker...now I just need Meh to sell one cheap....
@Purplefroggie Yes, I agree. We do what we gotsta do. I wait until 5:30 in the morning when I get up to see if something that I didn't really need sold out before I could buy it.
@lumpthar ha! Just to torure yourself first thing in the morning..that way the rest of the day is all up hilll! haha
You know I think I'd be down for these if it wasn't an assortment. I don't really need 3 different varieties. But I'd take 18 in one style. It'd be perfect for hosting big groups. And the glasses look amazing too.
@daveJay that is a big group, most of us don't have 18 friends and if we do they don't care what they drink out of ...there are still mant PBR drinkers out there. I am not one of them, I am a little more classy..I like Keystone Light..in a red solo cup...ha!
@Purplefroggie Granted we don't have that many people very often at all. Mostly family gatherings and the very very very occasional dinner with a group of friends. But in those moments, it'd be nice to have a big set, and also an allowance for breakage.
@Purplefroggie We bought 12 of the Riedel Ouverture Magnums that are the pick over at The Sweethome, but 2 or 3 of them have broken already : (
@daveJay no I agree, I like the Riedel's. I never understood why peple registered for $50 each...for stemware. Crystal is so heavy who wants to lug that heavy thing around? Not to mention I would want to stab myself with the shards if I ever drop and broke one? This set form Meh is nice, but yeah you would have to buy many sets just to get all of the same, then where the hell ya gonna put them all? I do agree life is too short to drink from crappy glasses, but no need for $50 glass. Many alternatives, and my wine tatses the same in a $50 glas as it does in a $5 glass, with less worry and stress over breakage!
@daveJay Just buy three sets and smash the ones you won't be using.
@stupidrobot good idea!!...I have been pretty stressed lately, that may help?
@stupidrobot Or buy three sets and sell the glasses I don't need on Amazon. It's just that trying to pack and ship delicate glasses doesn't sound fun
I love purple.
@daveJay fill them with chocolates and you have a hostess gift? or add a gift card with the chocolates or a bottle of wine and you have a Bday or Xmas gift...etc?
Not exciting for my first buy, but meh. I'm surprised there are any left, though. Don't they drink a lot of wine in California?
@LisaZ yes...right out of the bottle...saves them money to buy more wine....
@Purplefroggie box wine ?
@communist I think in California they are fancier and use really long straws in thier bottle of 50 year aged wine
@communist in the midwest we are more laid back we use a wine glass, a red solo cup, a dixie cup....we can't afford the nice wines but we can drink like they are expenisve or spend more on wine and less on fancy glasses!
@communist by the way, did you grab one of your rocks outside your front door as a pet? I am sure your niece would be thrilled to have her Uncle have a wonderful thing in common with her!
I break glasses all the damn time. Thank you, meh.
These are perfect for all of that whine about not getting fukus.
No Georgia Red. . . for that alone, meh.
@jrwofuga Do they make red wine in Georgia?
@SSteve mmm peach wine!
@SSteve bam. http://www.chateauelan.com/
@jrwofuga WOW what a great place, alot nicer than the ones around here!! and wines sound amazing..if only it were closer....
I love purple.
@Barney purple is the new black....
@jrwofuga Well, so they do. So you can put Georgia Red into your Bormioli Rocco red wine glass.
Do you have any pictures of the red glasses? I am assuming the one pictured are supposed to be "White". Where are these red glasses though? Not going to buy a color I havent seen yet!
@bruinscbr Well... "red" glasses hold a larger volume (18.5 ounces). "White" glasses contain less (15 oz). Red/white isn't the glass color, it's the size of the glass.
@johnamo I think @bruinscbr is being funny and saying that the photos don't include any red-colored glasses.
@SSteve Possible. Sometimes it's hard to disentangle stupidity from humor... so I assumed stupidity. ;)
I like purple.
I don't really like Bormioli glass, but I must say the hammer demonstration was impressive.
meh first purchase!
This is unfair to people who can't afford wine.
@kr1sk There's always Two-buck Chuck!

Remember the 'packtastrophe?' Well we don't want that to happen again so we are taking our time shipping these to ensure they all go out with plenty of dunnage to mitigate the amount of breakage you all encounter in transit.
Our goal is to have all of the orders out within the next few days, hopefully by the end of day Wednesday, but don't hold us to that.
The good news is we've learned our lesson from the epic fail that was the packtasrophe and are taking the appropriate steps to make sure you get all 18 of your wine glasses in tact instead of some odd percentage of actual wine glasses vs. glass dust.
The bad news is that all those new bottles of wine you bought in preparation of the arrival of your order will have to age a few more days before they get the chance to breathe.
In the mean time, please enjoy these pictures of cats and wine:
As always, feel free to shoot us a message at meh.com/support if you have any questions.
@MEHcus Yay! I keep checking my fukubukuro shipping because I figured that would happen before the glasses, but it's the glasses that I'm feeling impatient about. Thanks for the update and the kitty pics!
@MEHcus I just wanted to check. I have 2 labels. 1 for each of my orders. One is printed and stopped the other is in transit? O_o
Shipping labels printed today. Soon I won't have to scoop the wine from my sink with my palms.
Already broke one chiming them together showing the wife how "resistant they are" I fail at life XD
@Xainder I've been dying to test out how unbreakable they are but I didn't want to deal with the broken glass. Thanks for taking care of it for me.
