Stemmed glassware is a pretty obvious choice for wine consumption. It's fancy and elegant, but it can be a pain in the you-know-what to store on a shelf and isn't necessarily needed for a casual cup of grape on a weeknight. (Honestly, I'll take wine in any glass after 5 p.m.). Stems are used for temperature regulation and aerating wine by directing the aromas to your nose, but if you're not too worried about accentuating the taste of your wine or raising its temperature (or woo-ing guests), a stemless glass is a superb alternative.
Stemless glassware is simply more practical, and therefore, better than any stemmed glass to exist. There, I said it. Its versatility is a huge win, too, as it's not reserved solely for wine, but any drink you consume — like sangria or even iced coffee. It's ultimately the more laid-back, trendy-sweats version of the stemmed wine glass, and I'm totally on board. If you agree, we've curated a list of unique stemless glasses that are great for yourself or the next party you host. Shop them ahead.
For a Pop of Colour: Estelle Coloured Glass Stemless Wine Glass Set
The Estelle Coloured Glass Stemless Wine Glass Set ($170) comes with six glasses and is created by luxury glass brand Estelle, which makes hand-blown coloured glassware in a mix of jewel tones and soft pastels. As the brand describes as "jewels for your table," this unique set not only serves a purpose for your boozy beverages but also as an artistic pop to your table setting. In addition to this snazzy set of cobalt blue-coloured glasses, it also comes in emerald green, mint, and rose colours.
Reasonably Priced: Luminarc Concerto Stemless Wine Glass
With 66 percent of its reviews closing in at five stars, the 19-ounce Luminarc Concerto Stemless Wine Glass ($34), which comes in a set of 12, is well worth the investment. One reviewer describes them as "sturdy but pretty and not tiny like so many are." The glasses' unique shape is easy to hold and looks sophisticated placed on a table. For $3 per glass, the price (and style) is right.
Dishwasher Safe: Mainstays Stemless Wine Glasses
Enjoy casual get-togethers and a few sips for your own enjoyment out of the Mainstays Stemless Wine Glasses ($15). Made of clear glass to appreciate the beauty and sparkle of every sip inside, these glasses are great for your next dinner party or glass of red or white on the couch. And for those who don't like handwashing dishes, they're dishwasher safe. (Phew).
For the Host: Gatsby Glasses
If you're looking for glassware that makes you feel fancy, these Gatsby Glasses ($38) are it. The set of two glasses is etched with detail including a gold ring on the bottom. And while we're aware they're not technically wine glasses, we know your glass of rosé will look incredible inside of them.
A Work of Art: Waterfall Stemless Wine Glasses
Sophisticated, beautiful, and elegant are just a few words to describe the Waterfall Stemless Wine Glasses ($56), which come in a set of four. The handpainted crystalline glass will blow your company away, especially if you hold them up to the light and watch the sun's rays beam through. The only caveat is that reviewers say they're fragile — aka, a party might not be their best use.
A Unique Option: Libbey Hammered Base All-Purpose Stemless Wine Glasses
The chiseled grooves in the Libbey Hammered Base All-Purpose Stemless Wine Glasses ($45) make for comfortable gripping points while drinking up and if you're a fan of its hammered design, just wait until you see the reflection it creates on a surface when light shines through. (It's pretty incredible). The glasses come in a set of eight and are super lightweight and great for cocktails like wine, bourbon, and sangria.
Tried and True: Riedel Stemless Cabernet Wine Glasses
Australian glassware brand, Riedel, has been around since the '50s and is very well-known for its wine glasses. Hence why we included the Riedel Stemless Cabernet Wine Glasses ($61), they simply felt right. The grape varietal shape of these glasses, which come in a set of two, is made to rest seamlessly in your hands. This style is designed specifically for cabernet drinkers, but it's also available for sauvignon, pinot noir, as well as reisling and champagne.
Personalized Wine Glasses: Schott Zwiesel Taste Stemless Wine Glasses
It's not the shape alone of these Schott Zwiesel Taste Stemless Wine Glasses ($12-$72) that we enjoy (although we do love their shape), but the fact that they're chip and break-resistant, too. Made of a resilient glass that can withstand a drop or two, you can whip these glasses out at your next hosting event and throw them in the dishwasher worry-free when it's all set and done. Sold in a set of six with the additional option to have them monogrammed, these glasses are a dream.
A Vintage Aesthetic: Gold Rimmed Pink Tinted Crystal Wine Glass Set
The set of two Gold Rimmed Pink Tinted Crystal Wine Glass Set ($40) showcases a hefty amount of personality with their blush pink tint and gold rim. There's a vintage element that these glasses embody that makes them unique in their own right. The 18-ounce glasses are large enough for all wines like red, white, rosé, and even your favourite sangria.
Luxury Wine Glasses: Twine Aqua Bubble Gold Rim Stemless Wine Glasses
Elevate your glassware with the Twine Aqua Bubble Gold Rim Stemless Wine Glasses ($30). Packaged in a set of two, these aqua-tinted glasses have bubbles suspended in the glass with a gold rim that ties it all together. The glasses are anything but light, in fact, they have a heavy feel that gives you a sense of security — like they won't break when dropped.
Stylish and Traditional: Lenox Tuscany Stemless Wine Glasses
Break-resistant and dishwasher safe, the Lenox Tuscany Stemless Wine Glasses ($72) come in a set of six. The thumbprint design on the bottom gives them a distinctive look, and for a price that averages out to $12 a glass, we're on board with their durability, comfort, and style.
A Unique Design: Puik Designs Radiant Drinking Glasses
Unique is the only word we have to describe the Puik Designs Radiant Drinking Glasses ($45). The angular design is something that'll stand out in your cupboard and can be used for any cup of grape (or other concoction) that you have on deck. If you really want to go all out, you can purchase its matching Puik Designs Faceted Glass Carafe ($59) to complete the set.
