3 Gadgets From The Housewares Affordable Innovation Show.

When I saw a beautiful wine glass in a mini torture device, I had to stop. 

The company is Luigi Bormioli and the new collection is their Supremo line. Here’s how they describe it: Our Supremo collection is designed with an elegant bowl shape, uniquely crafted to emphasize and develop the wine’s aroma and flavor to enhance the wine’s characteristics to their fullest. The synergy of each element comes together to form a masterpiece as the chimney, conical shape, convex surface, and epicure all work in concert to bring the ultimate level of enjoyment to the wine experience. My description? Hey, it’s beautiful wine glass. They’re made in Italy and created with a proprietary system they call SON.hyx. It is said to strengthen & keep the glass brilliant. It also lets them make them lighter and thinner while maintaining their strength. The glasses are nice to handle and they are very light. They’re dishwasher safe and will retain ultra-clear brilliance thru 4,000 dishwashing cycles. It’s lead free and contains a bit of titanium which enhances the strength of the glass. Watch the video to see how well it works. There are various size stems (I guess that’s the category name for finer glasses) available. Prices, about $12.50 per stem. I saw prices a bit lower when I did a web search and many outrageously high prices as sometimes happens when a brand new product is introduced. Look for prices under $12.50 a stem (or glass) certainly not over it. You can order them at the company website. They’re brand new and may not be available everywhere yet. We recorded our video on 10/14/2014.
