New Glassware For Outdoor Boozing

To anyone who's graduated from the red and blue plastic cups from the corner bodega: your outdoor drinking horizons just broadened.

In recent years, Govino's stemless dented wine glasses, cocktail tumblers and more recently, champagne flutes, have turned up everywhere from intimate picnics to outdoor food festivals. To that end, the brand's newest release, a lightweight wine decanter ($13), seems like a perfectly natural addition to the design-forward lineup. Besides filling it with the obvious, this makes a great vessel for sangria and other mixed tipples.

We also recently discovered Totem stackable tumblers ($15 for four), which practically resemble the opposite of Govino's dented cups, given their bumpy exteriors. The bumps not only serve as a foil against your sweaty drink slipping from your hands, but are a space-saving concept, too. You can stack the cups immediately after washing them, while the increased air flow will allow for the glasses to dry.

Ideal for cocktails and soft drinks, Totem tumblers have three nubs around them for easier gripping, especially when your drink sweats.


The nubs have a second use, too: they save room in the drying rack by allowing you to stack them while wet.
