TwitterFacebook

Long distance relationships are the definition of bittersweet: Being away from your boo is basically torture, but the corny “absence makes the heart grow fonder” stuff is too true, and it’s probably making you wonder when your life turned into a rom-com.

Think all wine receptacles are created equal? Think again.

One wine glass stands above the rest and is sure to make even a $10 bottle of wine look like the fanciest thing in the world. Awkward dinner parties and dull dates are a thing of the past with these music making wine glasses that are sure to get the conversation started — and make you look really, really fancy.

These glasses by UncommonGoods each feature a full A-major scale etched into the side. To use them, just fill your glass to the desired note, wet your finger, and create a tipsy symphony by running your finger around the rim.  Read more…
