I broke the last of the really nice wine glasses I had around and decided it's time for a revamp. I'm looking for:
-12-24 wine glasses. At least 8 Bordeaux-specific, the rest more 'all-purpose' ones. The other ones will almost never be used for anything other than pinot or cabs.
-assorted beer...whatever. I have a couple tall pilsner glasses that I like, but tell me what I should have, beer geeks. I've always just used those or nothing.
Here's the one I've been leaning toward for the bordeauxs, to give you an idea:
http://www.amazon.com/Riedel-Vinum-...98150575&sr=1-3
Classic, simple, no-frills. I hate ornate and colors. I want some nice stuff, but the cheaper, the better, since the majority of my budget will already be going toward a couple awesome Bordeaux glasses, and most of these will be used sparingly.
Suggestions? |

| i'm not particularly knowledgeable about this - but I believe riedel products are sort of the industry standard for quality |

I'm loving some thick plastic ones that look just like glass...
I always break mine too. |

shaw likes French wine, the Germans like David Hasselhoff.

Schott Zwiesel is great stuff, but it isn't always cheap.
As far as pint glasses i either steal them from bars, or use the free ones that seem to always come with cases of beer around xmas time. |

Yes. Shaw is gonna break them, anyway.

stemless works fine...i don't know though...
I find if you set a nice table with good food, and nice china, stemless kind of looks a little cheap. The functionality is the same though. |

Their mid-range stuff is about the same as the riedels I mentioned, but their lower-end is quite a bit less. I may check those out. Thanks.
I own precisely 2 beer-specific glasses, so I don't even know what those are (don't shoot me). What's the most common type of glass? Pics? |

| Also, I'm just not a big fan of stemless. I like the more traditional look, and I always feel like I'm going to spill stemless glasses (especially the slanted ones). |

Then be clear about what you want before I give advice.
