In order to make the most of this stylish glassware, you want to look for a couple of factors to ensure longevity and maximum use.
The bowl of a glass is the most important part of your wine glasses as this is where the wine sits and the shape affects aeration and aromas. If you’re wanting to find a stemless glass that can work across the board, you want a versatile shape that can work for any type of wine.
The stemless glass’s benefits are that it is slightly more accident-proof thanks to its low centre of gravity, it is significantly easier to store for those of us living in small living spaces and apartments, and its modern shape and silhouette make table-scaping a dream.
If this has inspired you to try your hand at stemless glasses but aren’t sure where to start, then have no fear because below we are looking at our top 10 picks.
