Glasvin Unique Experience: Design Your Own Set of Six (6) Custom Hand-blown Wine Glasses or Decanters
Okay, this sounds interesting, tell me more…
Have you ever wanted a wine glass that you couldn’t find on the market? As a direct-to-consumer wine glass brand, we have capabilities to create custom hand-blown glassware in very small production runs.
For example we worked with Other Half Brewing to create a beer glass, which sold out in one day
We will collaborate with the auction winner to design and manufacture a custom wine glass
The auction winner will decide on key characteristics like shape, weight, stem thickness, etc
The wine glasses can be engraved to order (in addition to the standard Glasvin engraving)
Winner will receive a set of 6 of these glasses
If we think the wine glass has commercial potential, we will bring it to market, and we will work with the winner on packaging and naming
Previous auction winner Adrian So took it to a new level. He did such a good job designing a champagne glass Glasvin now sells it!!!
I’ve confirmed with David that this applies to decanters as well (i.e. u can design decanters, and u get 6 of the decanters). documenting that for posterity.
The only reason im not bidding right now is because I won last year and dont want to rob someone of an incredible opportunity. Would highly recommend. And if the number gets low towards the end I might just bid again because of how cool this is.
funny story. i gave David my prelim design drawings last year already since i wanted/hoped/expected to win… then i went drinking and forgot about the auction, and well. we got whiskey glasses…
hope to not forget this year… altho it’s my daughter’s birthday party tonight … sigh…
