Two wine-loving women, Wananya “Pumpuii” Wutikij and Porhathai “NJ” Tianubon, opened Asoke's Sixteen Grapes in December, and their portions are turning some heads. 
 
A highlight of the bar is the absurdly huge wine glasses. You can choose an XL that’s 1.5L for B799 or an XXL that’s 2.5L for B999, with a choice of red, white, sparkling wine, or sangria. They also have wine towers, which hold eight glasses for B1,000. You can mix red, white, sparkling wine, or rose. For some extra fun, guests can also draw on their wine glasses 
 
 
 
“We want the drinks to be fun, shareable, and Instagrammable," co-owner Pumpuii tells BK. "We’ve chosen every wine in our bar, and we've tasted almost half of our 125 labels." 
   
But, it’s not just about wine glasses straight out of “Cougartown.” To complement the drinks, they have a versatile menu, allowing for casual snacking or shared mains, like oysters, charcuterie boards, focaccia, pasta, rice, tartare, and dips. 
 
 
The space is light-hearted and fun with an indoor and outdoor terrace, and there are also live DJ sets throughout the week. It’s a great place to wonder when a wine glass stops being a wine glass and starts being a vase.
