The Biggest Wine Glass Evah

Published by at 5:04 pm under random

For Christmas my friend Belinda gave me this.


Vase

When I opened it, I said “Oh great, a wine glass!”. It became a personal joke between us.

I couldn’t stop laughing when I unwrapped my birthday present from her.

The Biggest Wine Glass Evah

Maybe personal jokes don’t translate very well when you’re not in on them, but this “biggest wine glass ever” certainly had me in giggles all night. I guess you have to see it next to a normal glass to appreciate the true size.

Perspective

And speaking of the biggest things ever, my family scoffed at me when I bought this vase. It really didn’t look THAT big at the shop, but it didn’t stop them from affectionately dubbing it “the baby bath”. ‘Cause they reckon it’s big enough to bath a baby in.

Big Vase

Yeah, but who had the last laugh when I got 3 dozen long stemmed white roses for my birthday – huh? Certainly looks more elegant than a bucket, which would have been the only other receptacle big enough to fit them in.

Flowers

To put all sizes in perspective

Sizes

What’s the recommended alcohol intake? A glass or two of wine a day? No problem! 😉

    I just tested it out, 750mls perfectly! And bonus! Lifting it doubles as a weights workout 😉

    I imagine it’d be even funnier once the glass had been emptied!!! 😉

    That is SOME wine glass, that’s for sure. :)

    Wonder if chocolate bars come in the same concept……

    that is one heck of a vino glass – more lady like than drinking out of the bottle LOL – what would you post after consuming a drink from it.

    Very sophisticated! We all know wine tastes better once it’s been decanted.

    Lightening – 😀 I reckon you’d be right! I’m sure I’ve seen kilo blocks of chocolate around the place…

    Kelley – LMAO – You’d need a pretty long straw however…

    Bettina – yes, and bonus you wouldn’t need the long straw! Only someone to pour the refill… 😉

    Trish – probably only just 😉 I shudder to think of the drunken ramblings that could ensue…

    Sis – and at room temperature 😉 (well red that is 😀 )

    Wow that’s some glass!!!!

    I think that if you could finish a full one of those, you’d either be really drunk or very sick!

    I’m with kelley, I’ll take the baileys baby bath.

    I think the wine glass would look beautiful with some fancy colorful stones and water and some floating candles while you can drink from normal glasses.

    Alyndabear – as would I!

    Bettina – got the tag thanks. It’s on the to-do list.

    Tiff – as much as I like Baileys, for me there is definitely a pretty low threshold to the amount I could actually drink before feeling blah!

    Colin – yeah I wonder how much those big steins holds?

    Nicole – actually, I was thinking the same myself (coloured stones or similar). I don’t actually plan to drink from it (even I have my standards)!
