I have won the BerserkerDay 14 design-your-own-Glasvin auction! I am inviting community ideas and suggestions to make this
I have two goals for this glass. The first is to make something unabashedly retro. There will be no bowls the size of your head. It will have curves, not angles. It will not have a cartoonishly long stem that makes a mockery of the limited vertical space you have in your dishwasher.
My idea board begins with the classy accessories Jacques Seysses is sporting here, as published in William Kelleyâs '80 Burgundy retrospective:
This prominent Burgundianâs hardware has also been nominated:
Secondly, I will consider this project a failure if this does not become THE Berserker wine glass. What is a Berserker wine glass? Well, if you are picking up your sword and shield and putting on your horn-rimmed helmet to go sack and pillage your enemyâs cellar (or your friendâs), your invading force better not consist of a weak two glasses per place setting. You will need hordes of wine glasses. At least three in front of each person. Maybe four. Maybe five or six. Whatever. But they need a footprint that doesnât crowd out all the real estate on the table because there is no use berserking through a couple flights of five or six wines if thereâs no room for some serving platters of blood-rare Flannery Jorge cuts. So our goal is a sane size designed to be acquired and deployed in insane quantities.
I invite further comment and idea board submissions from all!
It would be really cool if David Kong made a special carry box for these official/unofficial Berserker Bordeaux glasses! He does a really nice job with his boxes, and the packing, along with a pretty cool piece of art on it.
Hilarious. I love it. But all curves, references to classic Burgundy stemsâŠimages with tapering lipsâŠare you remodeling the Berserker best-selling FUpa?
i think we should be applying first principles here in order to truly innovate.
some thought starters:
why one stem? not very stable - 3 stems in a tripod configuration.
stems should be removable, upgradable, screw in (for packing and washing porpoises).
bowl shape should be based not on the wine, but the drinker - all berserkers will submit 3D scans of their head which will then be analyzed and used to determine ideal bowl shape. (query - berserker helmets and/or beards may introduce complicating factors - tbd).
i think this is a very worthy endeavor. a New Hope indeed.
Itâs ghetto to bring stems in a box or shopping bag. Itâs classy to bring stems in a briefcase like you would use for the nuclear football or $1MM in unmarked bills.
Preferably designed for maximizing Pobegaâd bottles, double decanting, splash decanting and of course cleaned in the dishwasher.
A custom molded carrying case (possibly in concert with Wine Check) for Alfert to ensure his man servants donât damage the decanter would be even better.
Integrating ChatGPT AI that automatically answers âhow long should I decant this bottleâ would be a great SAS add on for reoccurring revenue.
Bro do you even wineberserker? A 36 hour Audouze is perfect for literally every bottle. If itâs young, itâll be just right and perfectly textured. 130 years old no label Georgian wine with a mid waist fill, completely brown, dead roach floating on top? After the Audouze that dank juice will be singing like a 93 Rousseau Chambertin. 60 year old Dom Perignon that pours deep amber in color and with literally zero bubbles? After 36 hours itâll be vibrant, impossible to tell apart from 2002 P2.
Decanters are for ignoramuses. Get on board or get told youâre an idiot by Franky A.
