There’s a time and a place to break out your expensive crystal wine glasses — and your spontaneous girls’ night in probably isn't it. No matter what you’ve got planned, you’ll probably wanna have the appropriate drinking vessel on hand. That’s why we’ve rounded up our fave wine glasses for every occasion, from stemless wine glasses to handblown colored options. So going from boxed wine Wednesday on your couch to event-hosting pro will be pinot easy-o.
Basic stemless wine glasses for everyday sippin’…
Perfect for an after-work drink at home or casual group settings. They hold 15 ounces and have a classic curved shape — great for housing cocktails as well. They’re made from lead-free soda ash, plus they’re dishwasher safe for an easy cleanup. Psst...like with all glassware, avoid subjecting to fast temperature changes since the glass could crack or shatter. ($17.70/set of 4, Amazon)
Playful wine glasses perfect for any party…
Or just for brightening up your morning with your fave breakfast bev. The 16-ounce glasses read “drink up the sun” in colorful lettering, and are made of durable acrylic so serious party fouls can be avoided. Fill ’em up with wine, juice, a cocktail or mocktail — and just make sure to hand-wash. ($26.43/set of 2, QVC)
Ergonomic wine glasses great for red and white vino drinkers alike…
These have a modern stout bulb shape and a wide rim that lets the wine breathe properly. They’re made from premium crystal, and the ones designed for white wine can hold up to 13.5 fluid ounces, while the ones for red can hold 17 ounces. And though these are dishwasher safe, customers note the glasses are pretty delicate, so be sure to take care when loading and unloading. Cheers. ($23.75+/set of 4, Amazon)
Flat-bottomed red wine glasses with a modern, sharp look…
The crystal glasses have a pulled stem, which allows for more durability, and can hold up to 16 ounces. The set of four is an easy way to instantly upgrade your tablescape (or just your wine-down Wednesday). They’re also a great choice for professional use since they’re compatible with commercial dishwashers as well as regular dishwashers — so if you’re looking for wine glasses for a formal event, these may be your go-to. Psst…snag the matching champagne and white wine glass set to complete your collection. ($44/set of 4, Wayfair)
A 50 pack of compostable wine glasses…
These lightweight but durable wine glasses are made from corn and other plant-based materials. Each pack comes with 50 12-ounce cups — and if you’re planning a party, try these compostable utensils, plates, and paper towels too. Pro tip: Subscribe to get recurring shipments every one, three, or six months and receive 10% off your order. Happy sipping. ($11.99/50 pack, Repurpose)
Coupe glasses that’ll provide a little throwback to the 1920s…
Swap out your traditional champagne flute for these handblown coupe glasses in three different colorways. They can hold 5 ounces, so they’re perfect for bubbly, martinis or digestifs. Since these are handblown, there may be slight variations in each glass. Party time just got a lil’ more colorful. ($56/set of 4, Anthropologie)
Stemless wine glasses that’ll do double-duty as conversation pieces…
A wine glass that’s almost impossible to spill? Sign us up. These have a slanted base that ends in a point so the glass can roll in a circle without making a mess. Just don’t fill these to the brim, as the tilt is a little too extreme to support a full glass. If you love the glasses as much as we do, you might wanna grab the matching decanter too. ($60/set of 2, Ssense)
Wine glasses so they celebrate in style…
Pop the vino. This pair of shatterproof, copper-coated stemmed wine glasses are the full package. They’re made of stainless steel, so they’re durable and shouldn’t break too easily. Plus, they keep drinks nice and cool. Choose from a few styles — copper, rose gold, black or silver — and get ready to cheers. ($19.99+/2 pack, Amazon)
Four coupe champagne glasses that are each a different color…
So it’ll be easier to remember whose drink is whose. The set comes with blue, pink, turquoise, and yellow glasses, all rimmed with a thin band of gold. Fill ‘em with everything from intricate cocktails to fun desserts. They can hold up to 6 ounces and should be hand-washed. Clink clink. ($69.99/set of 4, Bed Bath & Beyond)
Colored wine glasses inspired by antique-shop finds…
Available in a range of sunset-hued tones like rose, smoke, blush or a mix of all three. We love the option to choose either stemmed or stemless and the clean shape and wide mouths on both designs. BTW, this set of six has been handblown by artisans in Poland. And if you love ’em, check out the matching cake stand and martini glasses to complete the collection. Party on. ($170+/set of 6, Food52)
A stunning pair of mouth-blown glasses that’ll make for the perfect celebratory gift…
They’re made from Borosilicate glass — the same glass used in Pyrex bakeware — which is significantly more sturdy and less prone to temperature shock than most other common glass. These have a gorgeous square-shaped bowl paired with a thicker stem that isn’t typical for wine glasses. Psst…there’s also a stemless pair with the same elegant design. ($200/set of 2, Ssense)
