Stemless wine glasses were developed in response to some wine lovers’ need for wine glasses that don’t tip over easily, or that are easier to wash without fear of breaking the stem.
While these stemless designer wine glass are very popular, they can be polarizing. Some wine lovers are turned off by smudged wine glasses (as there is no stem to hold on to). Others don’t like that wine in stemless glasses can become warm too quickly due to the close proximity of the wine to the warm temperature of hands.
Unless a gift recipient has expressed a love for stemless wine glasses, we recommend sticking with funny wine glasses with stems. Another option is purchasing a wine tumbler like the Yeti Wine Tumbler and personalizing it.
