When Picnic was launched in 1967, the underlying idea was to challenge the bourgeoisie's fixation on excessively large stemware sets. Why have so many pieces, when you can drink straight from the bottle or from simple glasses? Thus a classic was born, with a timeless, mouth-blown simplicity and splendor that works just as well today.

Stout but hollow stems allow the glasses to be filled right down to the base, accentuating the drink's color in a decorative way. Another lovely detail is the playful dynamic between glassware and carafe.
