An unusual gift for connoisseurs or the perfect end to your Christmas meal, the design of these delicate hand-blown Port Sippers date back to the 17th century.

I was looking forward to these being a talking point, but i am glad the i only ordered the 2 pack. Argyle Port Sippers 2 pack
They do look good, but are very flimsy. They feel as though it would not take much for the 'sipper' to break or snap. They also are fiddely. My husband struggles to pick it up without spilling some out of the top.
That said, they are great to drink from. The port is sipped from the bottom and is a nice sensation.

I was highly delighted with this product Argyle Port Sippers were the best thing I could have chosen for a 60th birthday present. The receiver was so impressed and thought they would be a talking point at many occasions.
Delivery was on time as always good work Amazon, the products were all in one piece as they are very delicate and have to be handled carefully. I loved them and would recommend them to anyone.

Glass was novel but vry very thin glass, hard to clean and tiny. It was sent very badly packaged with one of the pair smashed. With too complicated and dificult returns process to warrant the effort of trying to get a refund.
I now have one tiny port sipper sitting on my glass shelf unused.

Very flimsy!
Great product in theory and nice to use, but so delicate they are far too easy to break.

Look great but probably not practical for everyday port drinking
They look fantastic - they are quite delicate though, so they have more novelty value for me than practical use - but if drinking port is an occasional thing for you anyway then... Read more

These port sippers are excellent and really do enhance the taste of a good port. The only slight critiscism is that they are very delicate and feel as if they would break easily.

Great Idea, Poor Packaging
