Port Sippers

[Sam]

I was at regional wines today and noticed some funky looking glasses - port sippers (like these http://www.argylewineaccessories.com.au/products.php?cat_id=3&p...)

They look like more of a silly novelty item to me unless maybe your a port nut but might be a bit of a laugh. I was wondering if anyone has used or seen them and what they thought of them. They look rather awkward to use and the stem potentially dangerous, but they look interesting.

Cheers

I got given some a year or two ago. They're a bit gimmicky and you lose any nose/aroma due to drinking out of the straw. My wife loves them but I'm not so convinced. But what is cool is that it's like toking on a pipe but without the smoke.
