Hellobee Boards

We have Libbey and IKEA wine glasses. They are cheap and sturdy. The Libbey ones came from Bed Bath and Beyond, but I think Target also sells them.

We used to have a fancier set with more delicate glass, but we broke every single one. We can't be trusted with fancy glasses.

I find mine at home goods or TJ max. They usually have Waterford, Mikasa, and Riedel for reasonable prices.

Riedel wine glasses. They make the wine taste better. Seriously.

i love reidel glasses but we always break them so i can't spend the money on them anymore. bormioli are also great and a little more affordable.

now i just stick to ikea stemless because we break wine glasses constantly.

Stemless for us because I put them in the dishwasher.

I also really like the ones with the short stems, like a pedestal.

We have Reidel that's sold at Target.

@@lamariniere: I bought mine after Bethenny Frankel RHONY shouted them out on her TV show many moons ago. I figured a celeb chef would know a good brand.

@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.

Pier 1 is usually decently priced for what you get, I think.
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.

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.

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&B have not; but for a buck a glass or whatever, who really cares. If you have a C&B outlet anywhere near you – check there. That’s where I buy most of my C&B stuff, great bargains.

@regberadaisy: no it's just their basic stems.

We use Reidels for stemmed glasses. 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.

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. We love them; even though we have broke quite a few

@yoursilverlining: Totally agree...stemless FTW!

Ours are from Crate & Barrel and they've held up really nicely.

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.

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.

@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. =/
