Stemless Wineglasses Are for Everything
There’s a finite amount of space in any kitchen, but in a supertiny one (hello, apartment dwellers), you can really feel it. Even when you hang pots and pans on the wall and stash knives on a magnetic strip, you still end up putting the bowls on top of the plates and stacking cups three high. All this to say: Stemless wineglasses not only make sense because you can use them for lots of different beverages, they’re easier to store and drink out of, too.
Even though there are red and white wineglasses meant to complement the aromas of the wines (Pro tip: The red wineglasses are larger), you could really sip whatever you please out of these bad boys. Many of the stemless glasses don’t even look like they’re meant to accommodate wine, and honestly, that’s entirely up to you. From shorter, bar-style tumblers that will have you feeling extra chic while sipping your water (or rosé!) to plastic drinkware that would be ideal for outdoor summer gatherings—we’ve rounded up some glasses that are as pretty as they are functional. We’ve also made sure to check off best sellers, including glasses from brands like Riedel and Duralex as well as styles that accommodate lots of different tastes.
Although some of the options are durable and dishwasher safe, many feature unique design elements like swirled ceramic details or hand painting. Read on for our full shopping list, wine lover.
