Bottom Line

Distinctive and modern lead-free glassware made in Italy.

Pros

The SON.hyx glass is smooth and can even resist fingerprints. Smooth, with a wide bowl, these are durable and classy. Comes with a 25 year guarantee that covers discoloration as well as rim and foot chipping.

Cons

Check the dimensions, since they don’t fit in all wine glass racks.

Bottom Line

An affordable version of one of the most popular bowl shapes from the pricier Vinum range.

Pros

These crystal glasses are machine-made in Europe and come with a faceted stem at the top and base, which catches the light and looks attractive on the table.

Cons

These are a thinner glass that’s more easily broken, including in transit.

Bottom Line

Stemless set from this German company that’s been around for more than 100 years.

Pros

Tritan crystal was developed in 2001 by adding titanium oxide and zirconium oxide to make the glasses break-resistant and with crystal brilliance. The glasses are nicely weighted and fit well in the hand, while the geometric look is clean and modern.

Cons

Some felt the glasses were a little thick, and too contemporary-looking.

Bottom Line

These lead-free, machine-made glasses claim to be the world's most break-resistant wine glasses.

Pros

The machine-made, lightweight glasses are infused with magnesium for strength and European crystal to stop clouding. Dishwasher safe, they also come with a 10-Year limited warranty with breakages replaced for free. Nicely weighted, impressive looking and are durable without being too thick.

Cons

They are quite large, and although strong and break resistant, they aren't break proof.

Bottom Line

Create a generous pour with these 20 oz. handmade crystal glasses.

Pros

The bowl shape is clean and modern looking, as well as being ideal for full-bodied red wines, directing the flow of the wine and balancing the acidity. Lead-free crystal preserves the taste.

Cons

These are sold as dishwasher safe, but are very delicate and may require hand washing.

The sales of pinot noir took a huge uptick after the movie “Sideways,” which featured oenophile Miles (Paul Giamatti) on a California wine country quest for this full-bodied red wine, which is wistfully cherished over the maligned merlot (which similarly saw sales drop — now known as the “Sideways” effect.) As Miles will tell you, the pinot noir — known as burgundy in France — is a difficult grape to grow, and as such a good bottle of pinot noir is to be savored and enjoyed. It features a broad range of bouquets, so needs a wide fishbowl or tulip shaped glass to release and highlight the fruit flavors and balance the high acidity. Traditionally, burgundy/pinot noir stems are not as tall as for other wine glasses, though stemless designs are also acceptable.
