The offset wine spindle turnings were requested by my wife Diane and will be given to her close friend as a Christmas gift. The offset stems do give the wine glasses a little bit of character. As for the confectioners chocolate wine it was the only bottle in the house I could find. Have no idea how it tastes LOL. Each stem and base is 4 high with a 3 base centered under the glass. The wood is Padauk, having a beautiful color but really dusty when turned. Everything in the shop is now red! I see why they do not like to make guitars from this wood now.
