Blog: Class in a Cup

Blog by Beebe Cline, PREC*



MAY 8TH, 2009 Class in a Cup When it comes to big parties or picnics, winos have had two options: elegance at the risk of shattering your fine crystal, or practicality in the form of ugly plastic cups. We're tickled rosé to report there's a third. The Govino wineglass looks like stemless crystal, but is pharmaceutical-grade plastic that's unbreakable, reusable and, after a few uses, recyclable. Originally developed for trade wine tastings, there's even a small thumb indentation to better your grip after a few. So whether or not we stay classy after one too many, the cup has us covered. $2.95/glass at Artisan Wine Shop, 119-123 Carrie Cates Court, North Vancouver, 604-264-4008, www.artisanwineshop.ca			Park It From beach blankets to best selling books to stylish totes, Park Royal has everything you need to go from a picnic at the beach to a backyard dinner party.
