The award winning Govino glass is actually not a "glass " at all. It is made from a food-safe, BPA-Free Polymer which reflects a wine's color and projects its aromatics much like crystal. Govino can be used and recycled and the end of it's shelf life. Winner of the bronze IDEA award in 2012 for international design excellence and winner of the Good Design award in 2010 awarded by the Chicago Athenaeum Museum of Architecture and Design.
