If your idea of relaxation is to sip a glass of your favorite beverage at the end of the day, and if you are a bit of a science geek (which I’m betting you are), then you’ll love these Cognitive Surplus science-themed barware items. Wine glasses with the constellations? Yes, please. Chemistry-themed barware? Oh, yes.
I was sent a sample of the Cognitive Surplus Northern and Southern Hemisphere Astronomy stemless wine glasses; they have quickly become a favorite.
Each 16-ounce stemless wine glass has been embossed with summer and winter night sky constellations in metallic gold ink. These aren’t those stingy small wine glasses that require frequent top-offs, these are capable of a more generous pour.
Because the constellations are printed on the glass with metallic gold ink, you should handwash them only.
You can enjoy looking at your favorite constellations while you also enjoy your favorite wine; at $50 a set of four, these glasses are a great gift. You can also buy them in sets of two for $29.99
You should also check out the other Cognitive Surplus glassware items: They have double old-fashioned glasses featuring the winter and summer constellations at $29.95 a pair …
