# Sophisticated Drink Strategy Games The Wine Glass Chess Set Encourages Getting Tipsy By Meghan Young | Published 2012-05-01 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wine-glass-chess-set References: [trendsnow.net](http://www.trendsnow.net/inspiration/wine-glass-chess-set) & [standardoslo.no](http://www.standardoslo.no/en/exhibitions/the_queens_gambit_declined_1) The Wine Glass Chess Set may be the smartest way to get a little tipsy, in a classy way of course. Unlike the [Jack Daniels chess set](http://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jack-daniels-chess-set), which doesn't even allow the players to drink any of the famous whisky, this design encourages people to take refreshing sips of red or white wine in between moves, depending on which side of the board they are on. Created by Anders Nordby, an artist based in Oslo, Norway, the Wine Glass Chess Set is currently on display during the Queen's Gambit Declined exhibition at the Standard Gallery. Wine glasses in varying sizes, each of which stands for a particular piece, is set on a mirrored chess board. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.9/10 - Popularity: 23% | Activity: 56% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Drinking](https://www.trendhunter.com/drinking) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Sophisticated Drink Strategy Games:** The Wine Glass Chess Set combines strategy games with drinking, creating a sophisticated and fun experience. - **Interactive Chess Sets:** The Wine Glass Chess Set is an example of an interactive chess set that adds an extra layer of engagement to the traditional game. - **Classy Drinking Accessories:** The Wine Glass Chess Set showcases the trend of creating classy accessories that enhance the drinking experience. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Board Games:** The Wine Glass Chess Set taps into the board game industry by adding a unique twist to traditional chess. - **Wine and Spirits:** The Wine Glass Chess Set caters to the wine and spirits industry by incorporating wine drinking into a recreational activity. - **Art and Design:** The Wine Glass Chess Set exhibits the creativity and innovation in the art and design industry by reimagining the concept of a chess set. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Chocolate Chess Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/compartes-chocolate-chess.md) - [Artful Wearable Chess Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ha-mat-set.md) - [NYC-Inspired Structural Chess Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chess-nyc.md) - [Incredibly Elegant Chess Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/elevated-chess-set.md) - [Beautifully Artful Chess Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dune-chess-set.md) - [Flat-Pack Chess Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jigsaw-chess-set.md) - [Stealthy Automotive Chess Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rollsroyce-chess.md) - [Celestial Anti-Conflict Chess Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/another-kingdom-light-stage-chess-set.md) - [Electromagnetic Conduction Chess Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/masteek-lightup-chess-set.md)
