Confuse Your Friends With an Upside Down Wine Glass

Sometimes the best pranks are the ones that take the least amount of work. And this one is as simple as drinking a glass of wine—upside down.

The Upside Down Wine Glass is available on Amazon for $15. And unlike traditional glasses, you pour your vino into the stem, creating the illusion that you're drinking from the bottom and about to spill the glass’s contents everywhere (the prank is probably best pulled when you're drinking red wine and sitting on a friend's new white couch).

Alongside looking cool, this 11-inch glass can hold up to 25 ounces of wine (a 750 ml bottle) at once. And while definitely a conversation starter, there's no word on how it affects the taste and general drinking experience.

Mental Floss has affiliate relationships with certain retailers and may receive a small percentage of any sale. But we choose all products independently and only get commission on items you buy and don't return, so we're only happy if you're happy. Thanks for helping us pay the bills!
