My glassware fascination continues

I love wine glasses: Goblets, short tumblers, intricate Czech versions. I have so much glassware in fact, that it takes up exactly 1/3 of all of my cabinet space. That is 1/3 of ALL of the cabinet space in my kitchen. It probably makes me look like an alcoholic, but I don't care (I don't cook anyway, so who needs pots and pans!). When I was browsing through the Cooper Hewitt Design Shop the other week, I happened across these, and I've been thinking about them ever since. (To avoid impulse buys in this particular category, I always make myself wait a few days before pulling the trigger.) They're actually made from durable plastic—they were designed for wine professionals to take to trade shows to showcase their wares—and will theoretically last forever. The random thumb indent is pretty awesome, though the most genius part is that a set of four just costs $12.
