There are some products that are so much a part of your life that you take them for granted. That’s the case for us with the fabulous govino wine “glasses”. In Napa Valley you see them everywhere, and they are an essential tool anytime you want to really enjoy the taste of wine without the worry of broken glass.
govino was designed originally as a trade tool to help professional salespeople showcase their wines whenever and wherever proper stemware wasn't accessible. But soon the creators discovered an even bigger need for govino in the consumer sector, particularly at settings where breakable glass is an issue. After all, how many times have we all had to endure drinking good wine from bad glasses? govino glasses preserve the taste of the wine, while protecting you from shattered glass.
The brilliance of govino is that it’s made from a food-safe, BPA-free polymer, which reflects a wine's color and projects aromatics much like crystal. The glass has a very hand-friendly ergonomic thumb notch on the side, providing the user with a secure and comfortable grip for swirling and drinking wine. It’s so well-designed that it won the Silver International Design Excellence Award from the Industrial Designers Society of America in 2010.
It’s recyclable, but better yet, it’s reusable: just hand wash it and use it again and again. Or, get the new dishwasher safe model (yes, it's about time...and we're thrilled about it!)
Use them on your deck or by the pool, or pack them in your picnic kit … this is great design, with excellent functionality … a very Cool Tool!
