Wine glasses

Do you have a wine glass you love?

I have a set of Lennox wine glasses that I'm afraid my kids are going to knock over and break.

I had some of those Lolita wine glasses with the decorations but they don't seem to last longer than a year.

I would love something durable, even better if its nice looking.
Right now looking at this one

Re: Wine glasses

For every day I have a set from Bed Bath- it's like 4 glasses in a box for $19.99. (plus the 20% coupon)
Super cheap but they feel nice in the hand and are durable- and dishwasher safe.
And if they break, for that price, who cares?

I can't even tell you how many sets of wineglasses I have broken, and no kids here! I have my "good" glasses, but for everyday I just go to HomeGoods, TJ's etc...can get beautiful sets for under $10. That way I don't feel bad when I inevitably break them!

I have beautiful ones from Pier 1. They are pretty sturdy..although I have broken a few.

Lol, I use the acrylic wine glasses that look like glass for everyday or when I'm outside. Unbreakable

Re: Wine glasses

I have a 4 pack of stemless from target. Bought them years ago and they've really held up. They get a lot of use.

I broke down and got cheap ikea glasses for entertaining. They are a bit fragile but at less than a dollar each, I don't care. I got 18 and 2 broke. But any glass would have broke in these situations. They are dishwasher safe.

I never use and regret the crystal glasses from my wedding. Who has time to hand wash and they are so flimsy!

Wine glasses

I bought a bunch of individual ones from Christmas Tree Shop. They're the same style in all different jewel tones. I think there were $4 each.

Re: Wine glasses

Thanks! I think I'll go with the suggestion of acrylic since they aren't breakable. They have a set of 4 at Target for $22.99.

Funny bc I was going to post something similar.
I don't use my crystal ones bc I don't want to break them.
But I have GONE through so many of my "everyday" glasses now!
I had crate and barrel ones and Lenox ones for everyday that I have broke at least 4.
and now on Easter my DH broke 1 of my Twine glasses from Tiffanys.
I need REAL cheap every day ones!

Re: Wine glasses

I love my Williams-Sonoma Lead Free wine glasses. I got them after reading about the crystal glasses not being a great idea for daily use, especially for women of childbearing age. I really got them for that reason alone but they're great. I have to really look for the etching on the base to figure out if I have one of the good Riedel crystal glasses or the lead free. They're $24 for 4 of them, so not super cheap but not $50 a glass either.

Re: Wine glasses

I use my "good" crystal all the time - there's NO point to spending that kind of money for soemthing to sit in a cabinet for 25 years - if they break, so what?

if I have a big party or a lot of people over (or my Father in law) I have really nice, really big wine glasses from the Dollar Tree of all places
But those bad boys don't break !!

I went through Crate and Barrel, William & Sonoma and a few sets from BBB before I finally wised up -

Re: Wine glasses

I got a bunch from HomeGoods that I love. They were cheap...maybe $20 for a box of 6. I love them because they're HUGE and they hold a lot of wine. They're pretty sturdy and we've never broken any. But even if I do, they're cheap enough that I don't care about replacing them. They look nice too for when we have company.

Re: Wine glasses

Speaking of this, I feel like I want to start serving wine out of the "correct" type of glass, kwim?
But I am clueless.

I know that red wine is supposed to be served in a different glass than white, and even red wine glass there are different types based on the TYPE of red.

This is all very confusing and annoying, but I feel like I'm serving my wine out of the wrong glasses all the time!
