Wine glasses

Wine glasses are a beautiful melding of form and function.  Choosing wine glasses for an event or wine glasses for everyday wine drinking is all about deciding what style fits your life best.

Waterford offers a collection of classic stemware including clear and colored glass.  The 
Waterford wine glasses always feature the company's signature crystal, some with intricate etching on the wine glasses while others feature decorative crystal.  Waterford wine glasses offer vintage, luxurious style wine glasses that are the perfect compliment to special events and holiday parties.  These wine glasses range in price from $25 to hundreds of dollars, and these wine glasses are offered in shapes suited to various wine types.

Riedel specializes in wine glasses and offers everything from sophisticated cut crystal to uber-modern stemless wine glasses. 
Riedel wine glasses are extremely affordable and often available at retail stores.  The Riedel wine glasses often feature bold, modern designs that compliment a contemporary aesthetic.

Murano glass is a famous Italian glass manufactured in an area of Venice and often featuring bright colors.  Wine glasses made from Murano glass come in every color of the rainbow and are always handmade.  Prices for 
Murano wine glasses can range from extremely affordable to very expensive depending on the artisan and materials used to produce the wine glasses.  

Although their are rules to determine 
the right wine glasses for each wine, many experts believe that the right wine glasses are simply the ones you enjoy most.  Choosing traditional shapes to pair wine glasses with wine types can be a fun way to honor tradition or host an elegant event, but your favorite wine could be as easily enjoyed in wine glasses of any shape or size.
