I had intended these to be wine glasses for my friends who are too lazy to refill ;) but actually, they work better for sangria and for summer drinks like gin and tonics etc, or even water goblets next to clear wine glasses. They are so striking that guests comment on them at the front door, seeing them all the way out on the patio. I LOVE LOVE LOVE them, and actually think up occasions to invite friends over to use them. So far we've had a Celebrate the new Ottoman party, first day the roses are blooming brunch....
they really are lovely.
