Beach-Ready Wine Glasses

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Crofton Floating Wine Glasses from Aldi are Meant for Sand and Surf

— June 28, 2018 — Art & Design
It can be tricky to plan for a picnic at the beach, but now Aldi is making things a bit easier with its Crofton Floating Wine Glasses. Specially designed for both sand and surf, the glasses are the perfect way to enjoy your favorite summer sipper.

The Crofton Floating Wine Glasses are specially designed wine glasses that feature a dull point on the stem, instead of a flat bottom. While the design may seem unusual, the idea is that the glasses can be stuck in the sand to prevent them from tipping over at the beach. As an added bonus, the glasses also float in the water, so you can enjoy your beach day without ever leaving your drink behind.
