Couples that drink wine together…cooperate?

As if wine weren’t fun enough to drink with another person, a new set of glasses “forces” cooperation among couples. Hmm, I guess cooperation is another word for backwash?
The developer of the glasses, called “my other half,” describes them as two glasses as attached by a tube. If someone tries to drink alone then all the wine flows into the other person’s glass, hence “cooperation”–or frustration!–or the need to find someone taller than you are.

In a way, I’m reminded of the story of the wedding cup, which is the symbol of Warwick Wine http://www.warwickwine.com/wedding_cup.php It’s based on a story about a man who proposed marriage to a princess - and the king, trying to be creative in saying ‘no’ told the prince to design a cup that both could drink out of at the same time. And the prince, being as resourceful as storybook characters tend to always be - made the wedding cup. Considering I met my wife at Warwick Winery, perhaps I should invest in one of these glasses!

that could be one of the least useful wine accessories I’ve seen in a while. it’s the wine equivalent of the hard hat with beer holders and feeding tubes…

Ruarri, thanks for that nice, romantic interpretation. Somehow the plastic tubing doesn’t seem quite as romantic as the chalice at Warwick, but it is a similar (more contemporary) idea.
I’d have to say that I side with Gretel though that this leans more toward the ridiculous than the sublime.
