Colt45 Posted August 3, 2006 Share Posted August 3, 2006 I really like these stemless glasses. Since I started using them, I've found that I rarely use traditional stems anymore. I only have the large cabernet size, but I use them for all wine styles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen these in a couple of movies/TV shows. They look great. I might need to pick up a set of four (4) to try out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Gargett Posted August 8, 2006 Share Posted August 8, 2006 i am no fan of them for wine but i do reckon they make the best rum/bourbon presumably spirits in general glasses. especially if on the rocks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PigFish Posted August 9, 2006 Share Posted August 9, 2006 I know nothing about wine! Lady Piggy however really enjoys the stuff. She also really likes these. I think perhaps they are a little less difficult to break when she is drunk! AND... with the cost of Riedel glasses, her choice to house her libation, I prefer them!

jjk Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 My wife and I just bought some of these this past weekend. My wife, God bless her, has a nasty habit of breaking our large, stemmed wine glasses. We really like them. They are attractive and practical. However, I do have a question. Bear in mind I am by no means a wine expert, but isn't (at least part of) the point of the stem on a red wine glass to aid the drinker in avoiding holding the glass by the "bowl" and thereby warming the wine? Just wondering. We really like the glasses, but I wondered about the whole issue of holding the glass directly issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a knock some have against these glasses. I do find myself holding the glass above the level of the wine. And while there still may be a heat transfer, I imagine the same could be said for constantly holding on to a stem. In reality, for me at least, it's a non issue. Another benefit is that you can put them in your dishwasher without worrying about breaking a stem, though I still hand wash mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skid11 Posted August 28, 2006 Share Posted August 28, 2006 Hi Colt Can't say I like them mate, I've only tried them once and to be honest it felt like drinking out of a jam jar. I suppose old habits die hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colt45 Posted August 28, 2006 Author Share Posted August 28, 2006 Skid, these definately seem to fall in the category of love 'em or hate 'em. Don't worry, when you're pouring me some of your finest Grange, I'll happily use a stem! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ken Gargett Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 do think that the warming the glass is relevant. depends a bit on original temp and style of wine. i remain a fan for rum but less so for wine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wiley Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 I like the way they look, but I would drop them without a doubt. I prefer to stick to glasses with stems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
