Filed in archive Wine Accessories on March 16, 2007

Well, darn! I looked all over the web and even though lots of folks are talking about Tulipas, a new type of pre-filled wine glass designed for picnics and other on the go events, no one has a picture of them. If anyone has seen one of these, please let me know. I'm very curious. Here's what I've read about them so far. This is from Pre-filled wine glasses aim to be summer hit:

Originally designed for caterers who serve wine at outdoor events, the pre-filled foil sealed glasses of wine are to go on sale this summer. The glasses, called the Tulipa, will cut service time and breakages, according to Al fresco Wines which created them. Each Tulipa is filled with wine in the UK and then sealed with foil to keep the drink fresh.

The glasses will initially be available filled with shiraz and chardonnay from southern Australia plus a Californian rosé under the Trencherman brand.

Twin packs of the Tulipas are set to go on sale in UK stores in around three months' time, priced at £3.75 per pair.
