These red wine glasses are based on the 7 deadly sins. Each glass encapsulates a sin, which is revealed through the ritual of drinking.

wow nice one^^ where to get em?
beautiful
umm, really stupid?
don't really get it!?
thats pretty cool. not really effective, but a nice conversation piece. i would love to have those displayed on my mini bar.
I'm loving them.
Those are really dumb.
All the people saying that they're dumb have no sense of creativity. Just because you don't need it doesn't mean it's not cool. I, for one, am intrigued.
I think these are fabulous.
Oh, and to the people proclaiming them 'stupid': here's a little advice.
Chances are if you go calling things stupid because you don't understand them, you are the one who's stupid. Just something to think about.
Very cool, hats off to the designer. Can they purchased somewhere. I'd love two sets
Some messages are clearer than others, but overall it's pretty neat. My favorite (and the one that seemed most compelling) is Pride.
I especially liked the gut on the Gluttony glass! very clever

Creative genius. I am absolutely fascinated by these.
hahaha, love the people saying that they're rubbish. They probably just don't understand them. They're brilliant!
Awesome I love them.
The one for Lust is hot. In a cage hot.
I find them very clever and a great addition to a 7 deadly sins party!
These are obviously shopped. I can tell by the pixels, and by having seen a lot of shops in my time.
i love all of these, especially envy...it seems to have a hint of humor
There's always some twat who has to mention photos having been "shopped"
Who gives a shit? Is that all you look for?
You're a fuckin idiot.
ofcourse they are shopped. for presentation purposes. that does not mean that the glasses themselves are fake.
pretty cool ;)
Anon Said: These are obviously shopped. I can tell by the pixels, and by having seen a lot of shops in my time.
So.... what makes you think this is so impossible to exist? Hm? Why even bother shopping this?
you stumblers are easily pleased, these are ridiculous
i could make a nice bong out of the "pride" glass
Come on now people
The person saying they're shopped is just saying it to be saying it
he used the exact phrase that everyone else uses when they're being sarcastic or some such...
By the way they're pretty sweet I'd love to have them
The only one I'm not sure of is pride...
these are so useless, stupid and moronic.
who the hell would want to buy these
first off, they must be damn well expensive, i'm talking more than 200 dollars or something, which is an outright waste. no one in their right mind would every drink from any of them
the 'greed' glass looks strange and must be an pain in the ass too clean. After one use, you won't be able to scrub out the bottom of those random leg things.
The 'lust' one is completely random, and if i can tell correctly, it looks like what ever you pour in the top will come out the bottom really quickly, meaning this would suck as a glass unless your intention was to choke whoever your "lusting" for.
gluttony is retarded, it's not even like it really represents glutton at all, it barely holds any extra wine, and other than that looks like a failed wine glass. The only connection to glutton i can see is the fact that it looks like a fat guys stomach, so we might as well have 'lust' look like a hefty rack if we're just going for bare minimum connections.
Pride is completely useless in any and every way. First it doesn't show pride, it just shows a pain in the ass glass to hold and to drink from. You'll have to hold it from the middle to be able to drink from it at all. Not to mention it'll weigh like a mother and require three bottles to fill. It might as well represent glutton, cause you could get a massive drink from this one.
and what's the deal with sloth. Like think about it honestly, if you were to use these at a dinner party or festive event, Who would want to be the one using sloth. Like you need to be a real asshole to just sit there and have someone else hold your glass as it pores in your mouth. It's not funny, it's not entertaining, you just look like a prick/douche bag who wants people to watch him lie down and drink uncomfortably at someone else's expense just for shits and giggles.
and envy is the worst. It's stuff like this that really pisses me off. What idiot sitting in the board meeting coming up with these ideas said "Hey, you know what I see when i think envy, an undrinkable cup with holes in the side that leaves a mess absolutely everywhere and completely renders the wine wasted once poured in" It has no connection what-so-ever to envy, except for the fact that your envious of other people cause they don't have wet hands and they don't look like hobos who decided to go for the one cup that can't be drunk from because they wanted to fit in with everyone else in this strange and moronic game of 7 sin cups because they think they're hardcore. like seriously.
The only cup that i found at least deserving of a nod at is the wrath one, due to the fact that you can actually throw the drink around. Now it's still stupid, because it's a waste of wine and no one likes the guy that stains and ruins peoples nice outfits by throwing wine unnecessarily. but f i could buy it by its self, i probably would, just to use in some water fight or something, but its definitely inappropriate at an event where you would be drinking wine.
I'm not saying that the whole idea of these wine glasses are wrong. I can see how it's creative and a nice idea to think about, but to actually manufacture, publicize and sell this product is outrageous, because the practicality of these glasses in reality is so little it'll make you cry just thinking about it
*end rant*
and if you were at all involved with making this product, don't cry. i don't want to see tears shed just cause you helped create a project that failed in every way
p.s. i think they're shopped, you can tell by some of the pixels
It's amazing how some people can't appreciate a little creativity or craftsmanship. I'm an an artist and i know what a vast amount of time and effort went into making these. To whoever said "to actually manufacture, publicize and sell this product is outrageous, because the practicality of these glasses in reality is so little" is a complete moron, because these are obviously not made for the masses, and there is probably only one hand made set to begin with. Use your brain. And another thing, they're obviously photoshopped, if you knew anything about advertising or art you would know that practically everything is photoshopped. So in the future, actually think about what you're going to say before you just blurt out whatever stupid rant comes to the top of your skull. These are beautiful by the way, if I had some money and a place to put them, I would buy a set. Thanks.
I was drinking out of these glasses and my mom got scared And said, "You're movin' with your auntie and uncle in Bel-Air."I whistled for a cab and when it came near The license plate said fresh and it had dice in the mirror If anything I could say that this cab was rare But I thought, "Nah, forget it. Yo home to Bel-Air!" I pulled up to the house about 7 or 8and I yelled to the cabby yo holmes smell ya later Looked at my kingdom I was finally there To sit on my throne as the prince of Bel-Air.
The lust one looks like it has a ball stoppering up the bottom of it, like the ball in a hamster's water bottle. In order to get wine out of it, the drinker would have to lick and push at the ball with her tongue, which I would suppose might look hot to a guy standing over her.
I think the main purpose of buying these is to display them, not to actually drink out of them. But, I could be wrong. I know I wouldn't drink out of them.
so I emailed the artist asking for prices... £8, 500... which comes back as being over $15,000 according to google.
they're beautiful, but that's a little too pricy. besides, they would look kitsch in my apartment ;o)
very nice piece pride is my favorite. tall glass represents the persons feeling of superiority over others...and for all of those who left negative comments...please just keep it to yourselves, your just trying to annoy people.
dont say its stupid and you dont get it because it just makes you look stupid.
i love wrath, amazing find
i love wrath, amazing find
i love em
a great party piece
or for when u are drunk lol
These are amazing pieces. Kudos to the artist. I think what most of you fail to realize is that these glasses are probably purely for display and not for use.
I'm pretty sure these are completely useless for really using. And if you buy them to show people, no one will understand why the hell you bought them or care.
Those are so cool, I would absolutely love those
The lust one would be hot during the foreplay..
I'll think about that.. x)
Very good ideas, I liked.
These are a beautiful work of art and imagination. I can't help noticing that the persons objecting to them seem stuck on the idea of them actually being glasses you use physically instead of simply admiring conceptually.
Consider Envy: the holes make the wine (which the drinker desires) unaccessible and messy if you try--obviously not intended for actual drinking.
Gluttony, on the other hand is an entirely useful glass whose lopsided, bulbous form is reminiscent of the shape imbued by over-consumption. It is hard to judge the size of this glass in the photos, but it appears to be almost as large as the head of the man drinking.
Lust is a glass built for two (at least). One can support the vessel from the attached chain while admiring the oral gymnastics required of his/her partner(s) to work the ball-stopper and gain access to the wine.
Wrath makes an admirable commentary on its name-sake by being both a potential weapon and source of self-injury should one drink thereof.
Sloth, of course, allows one to do no work to gain its prize, but imagine the ensuing mess.
Pride makes the bold imposition of its presence through sheer size. Like the real thing, it is awkward and difficult to manage.
Greed, true to its nature, always tries to hold some back for itself.
Skimming a little off the top (or sides in this case) makes the intended process inefficient.
These glasses, I think, were made to be admired and considered, not drunk from. The photography provided merely illustrates the concepts around which their design was formed.
Pride reminds me of my mansnake
Is it any surprise a lot of people think they're stupid? What sort of people are these aimed at? A very small group, that's who. It logically follows that if you're not in that group (i.e. the vast majority of people) you probably won't like them much.
Seems to me that that concept is so simple and obvious that if you complain and gripe at people who don't like a set of weird glasses they've never seen the like of before, assuming that this single aspect makes them stupid and unimaginative, then you're not the sharpest knife in the drawer yourself.
A nice set of photo's but I don't think the glasses work on their own.
Still, art is art and doesn't require a point.
ppl are stuid there not shopped for one go to the guys site and you can see other stuff he has done he made these as a request for a friend and they are not made to drink from just for display and conversation
and if you know anything about the 7 deadly sins you can see how each one applys to the sin it is asigned
envy of corse is wanting what you cant have in this case the wine that is the cause for the holes and greed is the appearance of there never being an end or not haveing enugh wine and sloth is like a morphine drip being to lazy to tip the glass ones self you see???
all in all they are at the very least great peaces of art
Gluttony is my favorite of the set.
Greed is fabulously done! ... i'm still watching the lust one... :) Great pieces!
It is meant to be art. It is really creative. Some of the people calling them useless, it is pretty damn obvious they aren't intended to be used for drinking purposes. It amazes me how many people are so damn close minded and ignorant.

HOW MUCH?
Well haven't we commited one of these 7 sins at one point of time in our lives of another? I believe Pride is the most common. Sloth is one which we overlook heaps but thats because we don't realise what it means...to be uncaring or have the absence of care.
Really, REALLY stupid. I wouldnt use these if they were given to me.
