Lars Wallentin:
Did it get an award thanks to Karim Rashid (who I have great respect for) or thanks to a very unique shape?
I don't know. Once more difficult to judge if you do not hold the bottle in your hand. Let me judge as follows:
Shape 9/10
Taste 1/10
Ergonomics 10/10
Graphics 1/10
-- well, as you can see: Both good and bad.
