Unbreakable wine glass

For the clumsy, sloppy drunk that likes to wave their wine glass around, or the gadget hound that has to have the latest and greatest, there is a new unbreakable wine glass on the market. It is made of a material called Kwarx. Mikasa is going to use Kwarx in its new ‘Open Up’ brand of glasses.

Interesting side note—Mikasa was invented by Japanese Americans interned in California during WW II. Now the company is owned by ARC International which makes the glass in northern France.

I wonder what they’ll run cost-wise, but then, one Kwark glass would replace 15 glass IKEA wine goblets in our home.
