While plastic cups are ideal for outdoor use thanks to the disposable make, they aren't quite as classy as a wine glass, which is why designer Ramona Enache has created these spiked wine glasses that are safe to bring outside. The glasses feature an innovative bottomless design that renders the stem of the glass a peg that can be planted in the ground. This keeps the glass sturdy and securely in place till a sip is taken.
The glasses are fittingly known as Pointers thanks to their sharper stemmed bottom. The cup retains the aesthetic and sophistication of a traditional wine glass, while the peg base makes it ideal to rest upright and securely in sand, grass and soft ground terrain. The bottomless design doesn't alter how users hold the glass, since they grab the cup from the bowl.
