Need help choosing wine glasses

C and B has good prices on wine glasses. I like Schott Zwiesel for everyday/dinner party use. They are relatively inexpensive and have several style lines. Be careful with some of the less expensive lines as the glass is fragile/thin and break easily when hand drying. (At least with my H and girls!) We do like stemless in the summer when we are on the deck, at the cabin or on the boat. They are less “tippy”. I even have a set of plastic cab glasses for very casual entertaining on the pontoon. They are perfect around the firepit at night!

Guess I should add I do use Riedel for “good” dinner parties/Holidays.

If you are entertaining for the Holidays I have a great drink to serve when everyone arrives! Fill half of a champagne flute with Prosecco and half with Limeade. Garnish with thinnly sliced lime or lemon. It is delicious, festive and very light. Starts parties out well and nice to have a toast with at the beginning. I usually arrange them on a tray and serve guests as they arrive. Seems to set the mood! I had this drink when I attended a wine tasting dinner where the chef paired his food and wines each course. He also served this at the beginning as we all entered the room. Very refreshing and easy!
