Say Cheers With Recycled Wine Glasses

Whether you’re a wine enthusiast for the love of the grape or for the love of celebrating life, sometimes there’s nothing better than raising a glass of vino with a friend. And study after study says wine has big health benefits so you can feel good about imbibing (at least a little), but we bet you’ll feel even better when sipping out of eco-friendly wine glasses. Pop open a bottle of organic wine and start pouring!

If you want a striking glass to impress guests, go for a pair of Aqua Lady blown glass wine glasses. The Quiarartes, a traditional Mexican family, creates each glass by hand, taking high carbon cost factories out of the mix. They melt down recycled glass and hand blow the glasses, adding silver leaf for a sparkling finishing touch on the stem.

Or if you want to exude the traditions of Italy or follow the latest trends, choose stemless glasses from Uncommon GoodsThe pair is handmade in Columbia from glasses that are made from old car windows. While you drink you can notice the slight green tint that’s added to lessen the sun’s glare.
