They really haven't ever broken except for a few when I was first figuring out how to hand wash them in my tiny kitchen sink. And they are inexpensive enough that they are easy to replace if you do break one. </p> <p><a href="http://www.crateandbarrel.com/viv-wine-glasses/f10939" rel="nofollow">http://www.crateandbarrel.com/viv-wine-glasses/f10939</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wine-glasses#post-2521607 Mon, 11 Apr 2016 14:47:40 +0000 jetsa 2521607@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: we used Macy's coupons but it was 5 years ago. I feel like excluded brands weren't as big of a thing then. =/ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wine-glasses#post-2521542 Mon, 11 Apr 2016 14:06:54 +0000 regberadaisy 2521542@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Boogs: @gingerbebe: Thanks! Found a set I like, 6 for $12. LOL Those will do nicely for an everyday set.<br /> Eventually, it'll be nice to get a set of Riedels for special occasions. But can't spend the $ right now. :/<br /> Those with Riedels, where did you buy them? Do the Macys coupons work on them or is it a excluded brand? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wine-glasses#post-2521525 Mon, 11 Apr 2016 13:53:22 +0000 PinkElephant 2521525@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You've already gotten some great suggestions, but I'll just throw out there to AVOID the Macy's Cellar sets at all cost. About 18 months ago (less!) we started with a set of 8 white/8 red as our everyday glasses, and we are down to maybe 4 white and 2 - maybe even only 1 - red. The glasses crack, the stems snap....I'm definitely disappointed! Our IKEA glasses never broke, so we may go back to those.</p> <p>We have Riedel Vinum (so big, but not the super big series) glasses for specific varieties of reds and whites, and a set of stemless chardonnay glasses, but don't get those out except for nicer wines alone or with friends who appreciate wine. For cheaper wines, people who don't really care, or parties (where glasses are more apt to be broken), we use an everyday set. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wine-glasses#post-2521413 Mon, 11 Apr 2016 12:58:45 +0000 Boogs 2521413@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: Cost Plus/World Market! <a href="http://www.worldmarket.com/product/mobile/wine-glass-entertaining-set-set-of-12.do" rel="nofollow">http://www.worldmarket.com/product/mobile/wine-glass-entertaining-set-set-of-12.do</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wine-glasses#post-2521407 Mon, 11 Apr 2016 12:51:18 +0000 lawbee11 2521407@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@yoursilverlining: Totally agree...stemless FTW! </p> <p>Ours are from Crate &amp; Barrel and they've held up really nicely. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wine-glasses#post-2521404 Mon, 11 Apr 2016 12:46:48 +0000 lamariniere 2521404@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thank you Hello Bee for enabling my Reidel purchase. :silly: I found an 8 pack of stemless glasses on Amazon, they should be here by the end of the week! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wine-glasses#post-2521260 Mon, 11 Apr 2016 10:29:25 +0000 jetsa 2521260@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Another vote for Riedel, they were recommended to us and then we saw wineries using them over and over again on our honeymoon in Napa.

I used to work in a cooking store (Sur La Table) and they were the most durable - based on someone who had to dust and rearrange them all the times, they were the least likely to break even if I banged them into the shelf by accident! So that's what I registered for. I mostly use my Waterford stemless though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wine-glasses#post-2521216 Mon, 11 Apr 2016 09:58:10 +0000 looch 2521216@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: Did you look at the French Wine glasses?</p> <p>Might be a good compromise, they're more sturdy than a regular stem and they have a nice look as well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wine-glasses#post-2521206 Mon, 11 Apr 2016 09:53:19 +0000 gingerbebe 2521206@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: no it's just their basic stems. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wine-glasses#post-2521191 Mon, 11 Apr 2016 09:36:40 +0000 LAZB 2521191@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You might want to consider switching to stemless, we did because friends kept breaking our glasses, and haven't had an incident since! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wine-glasses#post-2521188 Mon, 11 Apr 2016 09:35:35 +0000 regberadaisy 2521188@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@yoursilverlining: I don't - not even CB2. :( I wish because i Love their stuff. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wine-glasses#post-2521167 Mon, 11 Apr 2016 09:19:37 +0000 LuLu Mom 2521167@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm cheap and got the 12 pack for like $10 from Bed, Bath, and Beyond, and we have yet to lose one (5 years in.) I had a nice set of Waterford from our wedding and broke every single one, never again. we can't be trusted with nice things ha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wine-glasses#post-2521147 Mon, 11 Apr 2016 09:07:38 +0000 yoursilverlining 2521147@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like and use both the IKEA stemless and the Crate and Barrel stemless. Having gone stemless, I doubt I’ll ever go back to stems. We have some nicer stems for formal dinners, but I love stemless for everyday.</p> <p>The IKEA ones are cheap, and just OK quality and they don't feel as nice in my hand as other brands do (this is probably personal preference tho). They get somewhat “cloudy” over time, which the C&amp;B have not; but for a buck a glass or whatever, who really cares. If you have a C&amp;B outlet anywhere near you – check there. That’s where I buy most of my C&amp;B stuff, great bargains. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wine-glasses#post-2521098 Mon, 11 Apr 2016 08:42:58 +0000 snowjewelz 2521098@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ikea!

Can't beat the price either.<br /> @gingerbebe: is there a specific brand or do they carry their own grand?</p> <p>Maybe I'll check out the Reidel ones for holiday dinners and such.</p> <p>@SweetiePie: I really like one I saw on CB2! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wine-glasses#post-2520849 Sun, 10 Apr 2016 17:13:31 +0000 SweetiePie 2520849@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@gingerbebe: Wow I just looked at Crate &amp; Barrel and I'm surprised what a good deal they have on stemware. They have some collections for $4 a glass!<br /> If we didn't have an apartment with limited space Id totally grab a few for every day use. I currently use our $30/glass Riedel from our wedding and I'm in constant fear of them breaking! But literally I have zero room in my kitchen for even one more wine glass. Womp womp. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wine-glasses#post-2520847 Sun, 10 Apr 2016 17:08:42 +0000 SweetiePie 2520847@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pier 1 is usually decently priced for what you get, I think.<br /> Also, I would scope out Home Goods / TJ Maxx / Marshall's. I know I've seen sets of stemware there that are pretty nice and a good deal. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wine-glasses#post-2520812 Sun, 10 Apr 2016 14:58:25 +0000 gingerbebe 2520812@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have the Crate and Barrel stemless for casual every day. We do have some basic stems from CostPlus World Market - they are sturdier than Ikea stems and don't cost a whole lot. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wine-glasses#post-2520725 Sun, 10 Apr 2016 11:02:56 +0000 lamariniere 2520725@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: I'm totally going to get some Reidel stemless! We walked into a wine shop this afternoon that had a big range of Reidel glasses so we could see them in person and hold them. They are cheaper on Amazon though, so I'll order them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wine-glasses#post-2520701 Sun, 10 Apr 2016 09:37:30 +0000 Littlebit7 2520701@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Schott-Zwiesel-Stemware-Collection-18-2-Ounce/dp/B000LI182A?ie=UTF8&#038;keywords=wine%20glasses%20schott&#038;qid=1460298913&#038;ref_=sr_1_6&#038;sr=8-6" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/Schott-Zwiesel-Stemware-Collection-18-2-Ounce/dp/B000LI182A?ie=UTF8&#038;keywords=wine%20glasses%20schott&#038;qid=1460298913&#038;ref_=sr_1_6&#038;sr=8-6</a></p> <p>Schott Zwiesel Titan Pure collection. We have both red and white. I LOVE them. We used to have villeroy and boch and after a while most broke (granted they lasted 6 years). These are fantastic. A little more modern looking than my last glasses, excellent feel in the hand, weighted nicely, and they go in the dishwasher. They are about 10 bucks a glass. So I don't know what you consider pricey but they are worth it. I've dropped them in our stainless steel sink and on our marble counters and no breaks. I've also given the bar glasses (long drink and whiskey) as gifts to my parents and they love them as well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wine-glasses#post-2520680 Sun, 10 Apr 2016 08:31:15 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2520680@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have Reidel that's sold at Target.</p> <p>@@lamariniere: I bought mine after Bethenny Frankel RHONY shouted them out on her TV show many moons ago.

They are Austrian (we live in Austria) and I see them everywhere but always wondered if they were just prominent because they are local or if people really buy/use them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wine-glasses#post-2520614 Sat, 09 Apr 2016 22:18:45 +0000 808love 2520614@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Riedel wine glasses.
