# Stem-Free Wine Glasses These Luxurious Wine Glasses Use a Metal Base and Eliminate the Stem By Ady Floyd | Published 2016-02-29 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/luxurious-wine-glasses References: [luxuo](http://www.luxuo.com/automobile/lamborghini-launches-huracan-lp-580-2-in-sg.html) French goldsmith [Puiforcat](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jersey-cutlery) created these luxurious wine glasses that alter the classic form of a stemmed glass, to present a collection of metal-based cups. Instead of sculpting a wine glass with a thin, unsteady stem, the brand opts for a [metallic base](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/idea-sekikawa-design). Each wine glass comes to a rounded point, which could have extended into a stem, but instead fits into the silver base. These luxurious wine glasses were created in a collaborative effort between Puiforcat, sommelier Enrico Bernando and designer Michael Anastassiades. The collection is available for consumers and consists of red wine, white wine, champagne and dessert wine glasses as well as liqueur vessels, a bottle holder, a champagne bucket and a six-bottle ice bucket. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.7/10 - Popularity: 62% | Activity: 40% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Stem-free Wine Glasses:** A trend towards innovative designs that break from traditional stemware - **Luxury Drinkware:** A trend towards high-end home drinking accessories that feature unique and non-traditional designs - **Collaborative Design:** A trend towards companies collaborating to create innovative and stylish products ### Where This Applies - **Home Goods:** Opportunities for luxury home goods and drinking accessories - **Fine Dining:** Opportunities for high-end restaurants and bars to offer unique drinkware designs - **Fashion Accessories:** Opportunities for fashion brands to expand into home accessories and drinkware ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Premium Crystal Wine Glasses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sommelier-pro-collection.md) - [Unbreakable Wine Glasses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/unbreakable-wine-glass.md) - [Minimalist Glassware Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/minimalist-glassware.md) - [Ultra-Elegant Glassware Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/domain-glass.md) - [Break-Resistant Champagne Glasses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/champagne-glasses1.md) - [Stackable Chalice Glasses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cali.md) - [Hand-Blown Glassware Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/handblown-glassware-collection.md) - [Thin-Based Angular Glasses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/drinkware-1.md) - [Chic French-Inspired Tableware](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cadence.md)
