Stylish. "The Ming Oil & Vinegar Set from Dutch design firm Jansen + Co. takes the classic form of the wine glass and turns it on its head, literally. We love it, and not just because it's clever - the stem reduces the flow just the right amount, so it's [easy to measure as you pour](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dress-drizz).
