We have those bee glasses. Very sturdy.

Can't help it, i love stems. I have even taken to using big balloon goblets at dinner everyday, for water! Something about them feels so special, I may switch to all balloon goblets for everyday.

Ruby, those Estelle glasses spark joy! love love

I do love my stemmed crystal for dinner entertaining and small groups. And I have some Reidel stemless I use frequently too. I admit to using stemless cheapo glasses when I’m cooking or to take outside because I’ve knocked over too many stemmed glasses while rattling around the kitchen.

I'm a fan of Reidel stemless, too, for casual use.

For your cocktails, I'd look at Crate and Barrel for the selection, as well as Home Goods. My favorite everyday drinking glasses are from Home Goods that I found on a whim.

I love Lakeaffect's glasses!

We aren't drinkers, but I do like to open a bottle of wine on holidays, when we tend to host guests. These glasses belonged to my grandparents, and were received as gifts when they wed in the early 1930s. I rarely use them because they are paper thin and quite delicate, but I think they're lovely.

I recently bought four of these handmade pottery stem glasses, because they go well with my dinnerware.

But the best thing I've bought for wine is this Italian Alessi corkscrew. She's adorable!

@Lakeaffect - Chatham is a very active Coast Guard Station. DH used to fish at Monomoy rips off the Chatham coast. Hope your daughter is enjoying her duty there. My BIL is retired Coast Guard. He was commissioned at Nobska Light in Falmouth.

Another lover of stem glasses. I like the elegance of the stems. I prefer red wine, so my go to glassses are balloon wine glasses.

I also use stemless wine glasses now-- i use them for wine, water, mixed drinks. I especially like my vodka and club soda in them because they look so pretty with my orange or lemon slices.

I used to have Rolf etched wine glasses-- I had some with a peace sign that I loved but i broke 3 of the 6 and they no longer make them. I also have a set with sugar skulls.. they will be going to niece #2 as i just don't use them. Rolf has many designs but i think i am over them. I do like some of the beach/fish related designs but i like using my fruit to make them pretty.

I forgot to post some more wine stuff. I’m very proud of the wine table my DD had made for us (Etsy). We love outdoor concerts and festivals … this can sit on the base, or if the ground is uneven, we take the base off and drive it into the ground (it’s sharp on bottom). It holds a bottle and two glasses. Every time we take it, people come up and ask where we got it. :)

(It’s time to be oiled.)

We use plastic wine glasses for outdoors, note how I artfully arranged them here.

”Ahh, an aristocrat!”

Also, I love my tortoiseshell glasses. They’re around 20 yrs old:

I’m a stem glass drinker, Im not a huge wine drinker but i absolutely love glasses for every different drink. Margarita’s should have its own glass, beer should have its own glass, champagne has its own glass, Martini’s have their own glass (but I don’t really drink Martini’s so I use them for deserts and I do make 1 martini called a Fireside Martini ,shave chocolate on the rim of the glass. at the cottage i have beautiful acrylic wine glasses with stems that people think are glass . I love making signature drinks and they have to have the proper glass, I don’t like having random glasses so I donate my glasses that don’t have a set of 4 or 6 and for the past few years when I find a glass i like I buy 12 of them( sometimes 16 of them because I have inflicted my daughters with my glass habit and will give them a box of 4.
I don’t have 1 stemless wine glass, even some of my water glasses have a stem.

You all have me perusing wine glasses now, and it's not like I need any more. I recently bought a set of Godinger crystal water goblets, so looked at Macy's site to see what they have in the way of wine glasses and found these. Loooove the color! They too are Godinger.

Kaya, those glasses are beautiful!

Jinx, what a clever design for a table, and what a great bespoke gift from your daughter. Do you mind telling me where you can get a set of four Waterford stems for under $50? I am completing a set of Lismore for my daughter and would love to find them at that price. I’ve been looking at $90 per glass.

Ruby, those stemless Estelle glasses are pretty in the rainbow of colors. I bought these two rose colored stems to go with a similar colored set. You’d never guess from looking at them that they are about ten inches tall, like they were meant for giants.

IRL they are HUGE!

Kswl, thank you!

I ordered them from Macy’s a few years ago … they have them now for $65.99 plus 15% off (code: CLEAR):

https://www.macys.com/shop/product/marquis-by-waterford-markham-wine-glasses-set-of-4?ID=2059415&CategoryID=72782

But try a search of them, maybe someone else has a better deal. At the time, I got cash back ordering from Macy’s through Rakuten. I love using Rakuten!

Oddly, given that I have some really nice stemware, my go to favorites are freebies with my law firms logo given as favors at various charitable events we sponsored.

Hopefully, you can‘t see the logo, but it has the firm logo etched on one side and the ”event” logo on the other, They are small, but sturdy, and feel just right in my hand.

I don't understand Macy's pricing. Sometimes it just seems so random! Those blue Godinger glasses I posted above are around $165 for four at Macy's. Same product, same number of glasses, on the "A" site is $55. I'm tempted, but the A reviews almost all talk about glasses arriving broken due to terrible packaging. That puts me off, but so does the Macy's price. Boo.

It is so fun to look at all these glasses! I don’t even drink wine much but I like having nice matching glasses to put out when entertaining (what? what’s that?).

I really like these, from the same site that has the bee glasses.

The other night I spilled half my dinner on my lap, then later spilled a large full glass of water on the living room rug. I can’t handle glassware that’s too delicate.

I love the mismatch etched or colored glasses, too. And the fancy Waterfords. And the reidels always look simple but pretty. I need a bigger glassware cabinet.

I like these iced tea (or seltzer with vodka) glasses that match a couple of the glasses above, too.

And I like this

Especially when used like this

We have these and I like them:

I really need to have these, though.

There’s a store near us that carries some of these brands, so I’m going to see if I can see/touch/hold them in person. I hate ordering glassware by mail. I could look at C&B nearby, too.

Sue, we have used the clear Picardie glasses for years. We have about 20 of them and they get a lot of use. They are damn near indestructible. We have the juice glasses in green (that was to go with green Fiesta bowls in our last kitchen, Lol).

Jinx, thank you for that info! Coming back to add that Lismore is also $90 per stem at Macy’s 🤔 It’s a conspiracy….

Rabbit. Hole.

So many cute glasses!

A set of those glasses screened with state silhouettes would be a great wedding gift. I wonder why they dont have all the states?

edited to add.. of course they had all the states (smacks forehead) so i bought six Alabama and six Michigan stemless wineglasses for my husband’s nephew and fiancee, to go with their other kitchen related gifts.. Thanks Sue for that link.

Stemmed or stemless...we always prefer clear glass (or crystal when appropriate) - wine is so pretty to look at!

I love these from Tiffany. They have a thin stem, are nicely balanced, and are thin on your lips (a must for me). And they can go in the dishwasher. I snapped so many Reidel stems in the top rack, but have not broken one of these.

SueB. Weren't you missing for a few hours here last night? I don't buy online shopping as an alibi. Lemme see that search history.

LOL funny thing is, that wasn’t a group, it was just me.

I might just open my own bar.

Sue's Place. With non-karoake Wednesdays. I'm in.

You have to bring the cheerful Alessi.

Oooh, I’m actually visiting my BFF in NH for a few days and there’s a kitchen outlet store nearby. I might have to check it out.

Howzabout a whole ridiculous collection?

"Oh yes, it's ladies' night and the feelin's right... Oh yes, it's ladies' night, Oh what a night!"

😂😂😂

(He looks like Richard Pryor.)

You're gonna need cocktail napkins. These are pretty and for a good cause, too.

I just got an email from BookBub recommending this book:

I have never heard of this author, and don’t read this genre. BookBub is watching us, and warning that someone’s wine glass is getting broken.

Yikes!

Clearly I need to stop, but look at these…

Only $150 each!! The cover charge at my bar would have to be pretty steep.

Also look at the tiny stars…

Mtn, noooo stopppp….ok I’ll take these and these. Add to cart.

Sigh, I inherited a wine decanter and crystal wine glasses from my mom, and a smokey taupe cocktail glass set. Back from the days when folks actually entertained for something to do, and every young housewife aspired to a nice bar set up. I even have the late 50's bartender books to go with them. And I can't even drink anymore, can't afford the excess calories . . . Guess I'll just have to live vicariously through Mrs. Maisel . . .

I also have an assortment of nice Riedel wine glasses. I use a pinot glass for everything now, though. I'm over the giant goblets.

I got these for christmas and am enjoying them. Anthro, of course, has a LOT of cute options:

I also just bought a set of these that I found when I was in Savannah for work last fall. I got them in the oxblood but they have a LOT of amazing cute colors.

Our wedding crystal was Orrefors and they are really lovely when I want something nice. I'm just enjoying using something cute for now. It also depends on the quality of the wine I'm drinking which glass I'll choose. I also have an assortment of of champagne coupes. I gave away all my flutes.

Oooh love those tulip glasses!

Ok, those tulip glasses are to die for.

@dees_1 Here’s my Heisey Orchid collection (and random silver that never gets used). The eBay pricing has gone way down from when I purchased most of this stuff years ago.😢

1929Spanish, great collection! I'm right there with you. Been collecting various glassware for decades now. This is the lowest I've seen prices. All the more reason to buy and use the pretties!

I did a big re-org of my everyday glassware, making room in the cabinet for these, which I ordered from the A store. I want something that will show up in my glass-front cabinets. Anthro used to have similar glasses and I always admired them.

I am going to check my local kitchen store first, but I have about 85 different options now saved on my ipad for another set of wine glasses and one set of everyday tumbler style glasses.

I have the same glasses (I think), but mine are maybe "goblets" or "ice tea"? Meaning the top part is taller but it's still on a stem. Mine came from elsewhere but I'll have to see what they have on Amazon.

The blue glasses arrived; love them.

I actually went to the grocery store yesterday hoping to buy a few more blue-striped Oui yogurt cups to complete my ”set” — they only had plain ones. Waah! Are they not making striped jars any more?

hmmmm I've never seen a striped Oui jar. The only ones I have are clear. I have saved a couple for candles.

ETA: maybe see if you can find them online

1929Spanish, i have a similar collection of Heise Orchid and silver. I love the stuff! The spout on my silver pitcher detached and is no longer useable.

Love my hand painted goblets that DD gave me.

My husband and I are wine collectors. I prefer a stem but a delicate stem made from crystal. The most impportant is the appropriate type of glass for the type of wine. The design of the glass has to be harmonious to fully appreciate the complexity of the wine. My favorite wine glasses are from Reidel.

Late to the thread, but I'm surprised no one mentioned Schott Zwiesel. They have a hardened crystal that resists breakage but can go from elegant to casual (in the various styles). You get a thin delicate lip with a little more durability.

I saw something like these in a movie with The Rock & Gal Gadot. Link
