Most people never think twice about the glass their drink is being served in. Sure they might laugh if a friend pours them a glass of wine into a coffee mug but otherwise are quite content with most anything. There are others, we could refer to them as "glass snobs" who expect Riedel stemware in the appropriate shape and size for each beverage. Now, Riedel makes beautiful stemware but not all of us have the budget that allows for this. This guide is more realistic budgetwise but helps you avoid the unclassy gesture of serving wine in margarita glasses because you don't have enough wine glasses.
Everyone needs a basic wine glass. Stemless glasses are adorable but not appropriate for wine. Regardless of what you've scene in movies glasses are meant to be held by the stem to avoid warming the wine. These glasses are a great budget option.
If you're looking to upgrade slightly start with chardonnay glasses.
And finally every lady needs a set of champagne flutes. When in doubt, serve champagne (sparkling wine works too.)
Now it's time to through a party!
