Napa Valley wine bottles become tumblers and goblets for early morning juice, wine, or fine for any time of the day.

Made from ordinary bottles that were headed toward the landfill, the Green Glass products are transformed into stylish, unique goblets and tumblers.

The transformation begins when our supplier receives bottles from recyclers all over North America. The bottles are first prepared for their new life by being washed and sterilized. Each bottle is then separated into two components; 'head' & 'base' . The 'head' (upper portion of the bottle) and 'base' (lower portion of the bottle) are smoothed, and then fire polished. The base becomes a tumbler or goblet. The neck is then heated, twisted to close it off and finally the original mouth of the bottle is 'flared' to form the new foot of the glass. The newly formed tumbler or goblet then travels through an annealing (tempering) oven to remove all residual stress in the glass. Result: beautiful glassware that gives new life to old bottles!

Goblets: 6.5 oz

Tumblers: 7 oz


This collection comes in both tumblers and goblets.
