'How do you drink from that' - shoppers wonder at Asda wine glasses

ASDA shoppers are divided over the supermarkets 'pretty but awkward' new floral glassware. On its Instagram page, the retailer shared a video from the account @_inspirationdecoration which shares cool homeware finds and bargains.

The glasses come in a tumbler style and have a very beautiful iridescent finish available in transparent and lilac. There is also a wine glass style available, in the same shades, which are quite big around 8.5 x 8.5 x 20cm.

The items can be bought individually for £3 upwards or come in a set of four for £14. ASDA put a disclaimer on its Instagram post to say can’t be held responsible if you end up buying the full collection.

Many shoppers swooned at the aesthetics of the gorgeous glasses but addressed how practical the shape is for drinking out of.

"Very pretty but I bet they're awkward to drink from," @leonishortstuff said. "Could be spilling it from two sides of your mouth if you're not careful."

@paulacivers added: "These are gorgeous but I feel I'd be wearing the contents."

@kate.los83uk commented: "Looks nice but hard to clean and drink from it."

Other people didn't care however and just wanted the attractive items immediately.

@ kitchen_diaries_by_zubda stated: "I want these badly now" with @saralouise.hello also adding: "They are going in my basket lol."

Others offered a solution to the "awkward" shape even going as far to suggest other purposes.

@beautyandtheread said: "You'd need a straw with these but they look cute" with @raisingimmyandisla not the only one suggesting: "They’d make a cute flower vase too."
