The Chambong: An Innovative Way to Funnel Champagne

If you have been anxiously waiting for someone to take the traditional Champagne flute and cross it with your everyday crack pipe, today is your lucky day. The Chambong has arrived, and it offers an exciting way to get your Sunday brunch off and poppin'.

This classy alternative to every fraternity's favorite past time of funneling beers was originally conceptualized as a pipe that could hold an abnormally large amount of medical cannabis. That idea later morphed into piece of so-called technology that's described as “a device used for the rapid and enhanced experience of of sparkling wine/champagne consumption".  According to Forbes, it took a glassblower more than five months to come up with this groundbreaking design, a process we imagine was slowed by a steadily decreasing number of brain cells. Regardless, the Chambong team from Seattle has created a product that seems to have taken hold among a certain demographic who have been yearning for a faster way to down their favorite sparkling wine.

For those of you wondering what sort of impact this might have on Champagne's reputation as a luxury product, CEO Randy Leslein is acutely aware of his product's perception, adding:

“I love to savor the finer things in life as much as the next guy. But the ritual of doing a Chambong and sharing the experience with others just can’t be matched. If it was anything other than pure joy."

Lest you think this whole idea is just a pipe dream, consider their first run of 3,000 Chambongs have all but sold out. While we wouldn't hedge any bets on the long term staying power of this novelty device, we agree it may warrant some closer testing. Visit their website to learn more.
