As any wine enthusiast knows, the experience of drinking wine is about more than just the taste—it's also about the aroma. Thanks to the Wine Glass Mask, a new type of glass with a shape that fits directly to your face as you drink, you can now get the most out of your wine tasting experience. Or that's the pitch of the Wine Glass Mask, anyway.

Launched on Kickstarter, this wine glass promises "to focus the bouquet and concentrate the smell of fruits, spices, herbs, and flowers while controlling the flow of oxygen. As you breathe in, you notice an intensified aroma because none of your experience is lost."

While wine glasses are normally circular, Piatt thinks having the shape of the glass fit your face will affect the overall experience of drinking a glass of wine.

"As red wine breathes wine molecules combine with nitrogen and oxygen in the air, the venturi nozzles on the front of the Wine Glass Mask reduces the flow of oxygen and nitrogen and increases their velocity entering the wine aroma mixing chamber as you breathe in," according to the product's description.
