One company dominated and sometimes their products made no sense because, like many things in wine, there were too many options and not enough differentiation for normal wine drinkers. </p> <p> </p> <p style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://glas.vin" target= "_blank" rel="noopener"><img style= "display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src= "https://assets.libsyn.com/secure/show/45638/0008_1.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="397" /></a><br /> <a href="https://glas.vin/">https://glas.vin/</a></p> <p>But in recent years new glassware companies have burst onto the scene. I’ve tried many, many of those glasses, but the only one that actually captured my attention and that I decided to use as more than a sample was <a href="https://glas.vin" target="_blank" rel="noopener">GlasVin</a>. They are very light, very thin, and yet more durable than some of their competitors.</p> <p> </p> <p><a href="https://glas.vin" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">GlasVin</a> was founded in 2020 by David Kong, who left his job at a hedge fund to start the company and today, his mission is to deliver handcrafted glasses at affordable prices. He was a Forbes 30 Under 30 recipient in 2022 and today he joins to tell us about the glassware industry and how he created what I think are the best new glasses to hit the market.</p> <p> </p> <p style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://glas.vin" target= "_blank" rel="noopener"><img style= "display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src= "https://assets.libsyn.com/secure/show/45638/David_Kong_Headshot.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="400" /></a><br /> <a h
