The Stallo Project is a work by a group of designers who saw the potential in old wine bottles. Instead of just throwing these out to be recycled, the team cut them in half, turned them upside down and stuck them on stoppers at the bottom. This helps to keep the liquid in, while also allowing the cup to stand on its own.
For anyone who enjoys taking part in DIY projects, this could keep one busy for a few hours. College students on a budget can now not only enjoy a bottle of wine, but make the most of it after the contents are complete. However, special care must be taken when cutting the bottle in half.
