Classy, with a wink.
White Wino started with a simple observation: the friend who brings the good bottle deserves better glasses. Not the mismatched ones from the back of the cabinet. Not the novelty mug from a bachelorette party in 2014. Real, beautiful glassware that looks as good on the table as it feels in your hand.
So we made it. Elegant on the surface, cheeky underneath, just like the women we make it for.
Meet the rhino
Our mascot is a white rhino in high heels with a glass of white in hand. (Say it out loud: White Wino. White rhino. You're welcome.) She's confident, a little sassy, and she never apologizes for a second pour. She shows up wherever she likes, which, around here, is everywhere.
What we believe
- Good glasses make good moments. Girls' night, a quiet Tuesday, a toast to the bride: the glass is part of the memory.
- Elegant doesn't mean stuffy. We take glassware seriously so you don't have to take yourself seriously.
- Free shipping, always. Anywhere in the lower 48, on every order. No minimums, no math.
How it started
White Wino started the way most good ideas do: in the car, on the way home, with nobody taking anything too seriously.
My wife and I were swapping jokes about winos (the classy kind, obviously). Somewhere between one bad pun and the next, one of us said “white wino,” the other said “white rhino,” and that was it. We were both laughing too hard to notice we’d just started a business.
By the time we pulled into the driveway, we had a name, a mascot in high heels, and a plan: make wine glasses as fun as the people holding them. Elegant enough for the good bottle, cheeky enough for girls’ night, and never, ever boring.
We’re a husband-and-wife team, and every glass we sell comes with a little bit of that car ride. Thanks for being part of it. Now go pour something.
