# Cork-Incorporated Glasses The Cork Stem Glass is Designed to Incorporate the Wine Cork into Itself By Michael Hemsworth | Published 2015-10-30 | Special Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cork-stem-glass References: [fancy](https://fancy.com/things/1001523306504920753/Cork-Stem-Glass?utm=timeline_featured) & [fancy](http://fancy.com) There are usually two basic options when it comes to wine glasses, which is either stemmed or stemless, but the Cork Stem Glass allows you to have the best of both worlds. Incorporating the cork from the very wine you are drinking (or have drunk), the Cork Stem Glass utilizes the natural bottle stopped as a means of connecting the upper portion of the glass to the lower half. The end result is a cheeky, rustic design that allows you to put a little bit of character into each glass. Designed by Sebastian Bergne, the Cork Stem Glass is suitable for select wines, although you might have yourself using it more often than suitable given the quirky aesthetic. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.1/10 - Popularity: 9% | Activity: 17% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Special](https://www.trendhunter.com/special) > [Holiday](https://www.trendhunter.com/holiday) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Cork-incorporated Glassware:** Unlocking the potential for incorporating cork into various glassware designs, creating a unique and eco-friendly drinking experience. - **Hybrid Stemmed-stemless Wine Glasses:** Combining the functionalities of both stemmed and stemless glasses, offering wine enthusiasts a versatile and convenient drinking vessel. - **Character-driven Glass Designs:** Introducing quirky and rustic glass designs that allow consumers to add personality and charm to their drinking experience. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Glassware Manufacturing:** Opportunity for glassware manufacturers to explore innovative designs and production techniques incorporating cork for a distinctive product range. - **Wine and Beverage Industry:** Disrupting the traditional wine drinking experience by introducing cork-incorporated glassware that enhances aesthetics and adds a unique touch to wine presentation. - **Eco-friendly Products and Packaging:** Creating sustainable and eco-friendly glassware options by incorporating cork, aligning with the increasing consumer demand for environmentally conscious products. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Wine Bottle Cork Trimmers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/qwikcork.md) - [Sustainable Wine Cork Products](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sustainable-cork-products.md) - [Stackable Chalice Glasses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cali.md) - [Dedicated Craft Cocktail Glasses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hybrid-cocktail-glass.md) - [Bottle-Optimizing Wine Stoppers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wine-stopper-1.md) - [Self-Measuring Cocktail Glasses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/elevated-craft-hybrid-cocktail-glass.md) - [Sustainable Pendant Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/corka.md) - [Ultra-Elegant Glassware Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/domain-glass.md) - [Versatile Cork-Producing Companies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cork-as-a-material.md)
