Seven Deadly Stems
All I can think is, don't invite any enemies to dinner with these glasses. better stick to Riedel.
Intended to "celebrate passion" and "encourage the user to be sinful in a theatrical fashion," each sin (wrath, greed, gluttony, sloth, pride, envy, and lust) has its own artistic interpretation that will have you drinking your wine in the most interesting ways (the aggressive and dangerous looking pointed rim on the glass above represents wrath).
As seen on Luxist.
I LOVE that picture! However the pointed rim would worry me...all the more reason to NOT get tipsy I suppose.

I would have to be on high alert all night! You're engrossed in lovely conversation, pick up your glass, attempt to take sip and wham... not for the likes of me I'd say. I take two sips and I am tipsy. I would surely wind up in the ER.

Hmmm, surely no one would serve alcohol in those? I'd be frightened to see a bunch of tipsy dinner guests wielding those weapons!

they are crazy looking, aren't they? And can the sloth glass really hold liquids? Is the gluttony glass as big as i imagine? :)

As someone who collects unusual glassware, I think they're great. As a drinker and a klutz - I think I'd be nervous...
