The most important consideration when choosing a Champagne flute is whether or not it makes you feel good when you hold it. Riedel’s Cuvee Prestige strikes a graceful profile while still being comfortable to drink from. The tulip shape also walks the line between that of a tall flute and the more useful (aromatically speaking) bowl of a traditional wine glass.

It expresses wine well. Our expert Mary Taylor noted that among the glasses she tried, the StandArt “does the best job for the nose” and that “it shows fruit and hides flaws.” This glass performed well across all of the wine styles we tested, including the aged red, which other glasses struggled with. In comparison, the Libbey Kentfield glass was not as universally flattering.

Made from nonleaded crystal, the Cuvee Prestige also sparkles brilliantly under the light. A tiny, imperceptible etching at the bottom of the bowl keeps your wine carbonated for as long as possible.

But if you must handwash glasses, we recommend cleaning delicate stemware with hot water, a bottle brush, and a little bit of dish soap.

For casual drinking, we recommend the Rastal Harmony glass, which is sturdier and better looking than the other stemless options we tested. The angled sides give it a modern look and also make it hard to knock over, which is ideal for large parties.

Good value: In general our experts preferred crystal, which tends to be thinner than soda-lime glass. But for the sake of including some less expensive options, we did test some wine glasses made from soda-lime glass in addition to ones made from nonleaded crystal. Ultimately, we found elegant, thin-enough glasses made from both materials. (You can read more about the differences between types of glass in this handy guide from Corning Museum of Glass.)

The right shape: We narrowed our search to wine glasses with a slight tulip shape to the bowl, which showcases the aroma of wines best. Asimov told us, “You want the diameter of the rim to be a little less wide than the widest part of the bowl. That helps to channel aromas upward and makes the aromas of the wine a little bit easier to detect.” We found both rounded and angular glasses tulip-shaped glasses that we liked.

We liked the Schott Zwiesel Enoteca 1872, but we cannot recommend it due to its increased cost and constant availability problems.

This inexpensive tulip-shaped glass showcases both red and white wines well. It’s durable yet still thin and elegant enough for dinner parties.

We also tested the Bormioli Atelier stemless cabernet glass, which was so heavy it outweighed most of the stemware in our lineup. It’s also enormous and too wide for most people to grip or swirl with ease.

A glass broke in our drop tests. That might sound unsurprising, but some of the more expensive models we tested remained intact. But since the Libbey glasses are so inexpensive, you won’t be heartbroken if one does break

Nice glasses shouldn’t be reserved for special occasions, so we appreciate that the StandArt isn’t so expensive that you’ll be afraid to use it every day. The slightly angled bowl is an elegant touch that enhances swirling, and most testers also found the heavier weight and thicker stem of the StandArt more comfortable to use than the ultrathin Zalto Denk’Art Universal Glass, our previous upgrade pick.

It's easy to clean. You can put the Libbey into the dishwasher, and we were even able to fit it comfortably on the bottom rack, unlike more expensive glasses, which were too light to stay in place.

It’s sometimes advised that you should spend the same amount of money on a wine glass that you would for a typical bottle of wine.

The overall weight is also important. A glass that feels almost weightless when empty can feel unbalanced when it is full of wine, while an excessively heavy glass is unpleasant to sip from and cumbersome to hold. We looked for options that struck a comfortable balance.

It’s a good value. Considering the quality craftsmanship and materials, this flute is a bargain at about $25 per glass. Made from nonleaded crystal, the Cuvee Prestige sparkles brilliantly under the light.

Though the Riedel Ouverture Champagne Glass handled carbonation very well, our testers felt like they were drinking out of a miniature wine glass.

Thin rims: We also ruled out glasses with thick rims and clunky stems, because they feel (and usually are) cheap. After sorting through hundreds of glasses for this guide, it’s clear that the less expensive the glass, the thicker the bowl and the stem become. All our experts were partial to glasses with a thin rim because it felt best against their lips—more elegant and less distracting.

Versatility: Traditionally, wine glasses have been sold on the premise that you need a smaller bowl for white wines and a larger one for reds. But our tests proved that a smaller glass doesn’t enhance white wines for most tasters. Similarly, the biggest reds could be as expressive in a medium-size universal glass as in an XL cabernet model. Plus, there are plenty of complex whites that benefit from intense swirling in a larger glass just as much as a red can.

It's thin and elegant. While the Libbey glass is slightly thicker than fine crystal stemware, it’s refined enough for dinner parties, which is great, especially if you’re wary of giving an expensive glass to rowdy guests.

While most wine professionals agree that the wider shape of a wine glass lets the aromatics of a premium bottle of Champagne (think $40 and above) open and develop better than a Champagne flute does, there are situations (like a Champagne toast) that call for the celebratory flutes. The tall, narrow shape of a flute also helps keep your bubbly from going flat too quickly. So for our Champagne glass pick, we looked for shapes that preserved carbonation well, but didn’t close off the aromas of the sparkling wine too much.

We looked for all-purpose glasses from 14 to 19 fluid ounces, which we found big enough to expose red wine to enough oxygen to let aromas become detectable, and still small enough to preserve the subtle aromas of delicate whites.

The Libbey Signature Kentfield Estate All-Purpose Wine Glass has all the features we look for in finer stemware at a bargain price, and it’s versatile enough to be the only wine glass you need. The shape is nicely balanced with a thin lip that makes it feel more sophisticated than other clunky, inexpensive glasses.

The Libbey glass comes with a 30-day warranty that covers glasses that arrive broken from shipping, but doesn't cover damage that occurs during normal use.

Medium bowl: The size of the bowl (the part of the glass that holds the wine) affects how well you can swirl the wine and detect its aroma. New York Times wine critic Eric Asimov told us: “You want a bowl that’s big enough to hold a healthy amount of wine while really being no more than a third full. That gives you plenty of room to swirl the wine without fearing you’re going to throw it across the room or onto your shirt.”

Proper glassware is more than just a flourish for your dining table. The right glass changes how you smell and taste wine, and it should inspire confidence as you swirl, sniff, and sip.

Though it's on the thick side, we still enjoyed drinking from it. Aside from the inherent drawbacks of all stemless wine glasses—they show fingerprints, and your hand will warm the wine while drinking—the Rastal glass has a slight lip. However, since we recommend stemless glasses for casual use, we’re willing to forgive this minor issue. Although the rim is slightly thicker than the than the Ravenscroft, our previous pick for stemless glassware, most testers found the inexpensive Harmony to be more fun to drink from.

It's best for cheaper wines. The Kentfield performed best with the wines we tried in the $10 to $20 range, amplifying generous fruit flavors. Taylor noted that it hid flaws better than the less expensive Korin Bordeaux glass on the $10 red, but with the $25 pinot noir it “concentrates sulfur and sweetness” and is a “better glass for inexpensive wine.” If you regularly enjoy wines that cost more than $20, you may want to spring for the Gabriel-Glas StandArt, our upgrade pick, which performed beautifully with all the wines we tasted.

That said, most of our experts agree that a stemless choice is fine for casual drinking, and we recognize that it’s popular among many people, so we did include a stemless pick in this guide.

Our testers found the Riedel O Wine Tumbler too big for white wines and uncomfortable to hold. We wished this glass had a smaller bowl with a slightly narrower opening.

The pros we spoke to agreed that the best thing to drink Champagne out of is a wine glass. But if you don’t typically spend $40 or more on a bottle of Champagne, a flute will still do the job nicely. Plus, flutes offer an elegant look and are a must for any celebration.

We were impressed by the Bordeaux Sena glass from Japanese tableware store Korin. At $4 per glass, these were the least expensive glasses we tested and proved to be durable and well liked by our tasters and wine professionals. If you can get to the company’s Manhattan store, the glasses are a deal, but with shipping factored in the price is almost equal to that of the widely available Libbey glasses, which weren’t as thick and heavy.

Made from what Libbey calls its ClearFire formula for soda-lime glass, it does seem to sparkle more under the light than other soda-lime glass offerings in this price category, and is remarkably thin for such an inexpensive glass. Typically, thinner rims and elongated stems are features we see in glasses costing nearly two or three times as much.

Like the Crate and Barrel Edge, the trumpet-shaped Bormioli Rocco Ypsilon Flute couldn’t preserve carbonation as well as the other flutes we tested.

But not too thin: In our tests, the thinnest glasses generally did an excellent job highlighting the flavors and aromas of multiple wines, and most people found them handsome to look at. But in practice, many of our testers remarked that the thinnest stems were difficult to grip and felt poised to break during use.

Clear glass: We looked for clear, unadorned, and smooth wine glasses, which allow for a view of the liquid inside. We ruled out anything colored, decorative, and made of heavy crystal with patterned etchings. Additionally, we looked for glasses free of imperfections—bends, warps, bubbles, or egregious seams on the stem, which are signs of poor quality and can lead to breakage.

It was hard for the Riedel Vinum Zinfandel/Riesling Grand Cru to stand out in our most recent tests even though it was previously recommended. The glass was slightly smaller than most of the others tested. When we tried it with a simple red and white wine, it didn’t impress us enough to recommend it over universal glasses.

Long, comfortable stems: We avoided wine glasses that were too short and stubby, because they are less unattractive than glasses with longer, more classic stems. The stem also needs to be long enough that you can comfortably hold the glass without your hand touching the bowl, which could warm the wine and leave smudges. But we still wanted the glasses to be short enough to easily fit in a cupboard or the top rack of a dishwasher. We found the ideal height of a wine glass is about 8 to 9 inches.

Our experts recommend the Harmony for enjoying inexpensive, refreshing wines, but you could also use it as a water or highball glass. Just know that all stemless glasses come with downsides: Because you have to hold them by the bowl, your hands will warm up the wine, while leaving unsightly fingerprints on the outside.

The Crate and Barrel Edge Champagne Glass is heavy and unbalanced. Also, it wasn’t able to preserve carbonation as well as our top picks.

Even though it’s a great glass, the differences between tasting with a Zalto and with the Gabriel-Glas StandArt were not significant enough to recommend spending twice as much. Additionally, most testers find the stem too thin and the glass too top-heavy when full, causing more stress on the hand and making the glass a bad choice for anyone with grip issues.

Even knowing that those thinner glasses are more durable than they appear (all remained intact in our drop tests), most people were nervous using them. Ultimately, the glasses we favored hit a nice middle ground: thin enough to feel elegant but thick enough to feel comfortable.

It’s also dishwasher safe and durable enough to withstand the rigors of daily use. We particularly recommend this glass for people who tend to drink wine that costs $20 or less per bottle (this glass won’t necessarily highlight the nuanced aromas and flavors of pricier wines) or for those who regularly entertain.

It's sturdy. The StandArt passed our drop tests without a crack and is dishwasher safe. The glass is made of molded rather than blown nonleaded crystal, so it’s visibly thicker than a mouth-blown Zalto glass and about 1.5 times as heavy.

But that extra weight keeps the StandArt from feeling top-heavy when filled with a larger pour and gave our testers more confidence in the durability of the glass. In contrast, people had a hard time getting comfortable with the ultrathin Zalto, despite being assured of its surprising durability.

These glasses are suitable for all types of wine, so there’s no need for separate stemware specifically for red, white, or sparkling wines.

The glass is well-balanced. Our experts and other testers found the size of the bowl, length of the stem, and diameter of the base to be perfectly proportioned. Taylor said it felt elegant to hold, “but not scary like I'm going to break the glass if I sneeze.” Several of our Wirecutter staff testers said this glass was the one they were most likely to buy for their own use for its classic shape and balanced look.

It excels at preserving bubbles. This glass has a tiny imperceptible etching at the bottom of the bowl that allows the gas to escape in a steady flow from a single targeted place, keeping the wine carbonated for as long as possible.

This inexpensive tulip-shaped glass showcases both red and white wines well. It’s durable yet still thin and elegant enough for dinner parties.

The Harmony was pleasant to drink out of and a comfortable size for most people to wrap their hand around. While it didn’t do much to enhance delicate wines, it handled young, fruity wines well.

The tulip shape holds aromas tightly. Our experts were better able to detect the subtle aromas of both red and white wines in the tulip-shaped Libbey than in many of the other glasses we tested.

The StandArt is a bit lighter than the Libbey Kentfield glass, and the rim feels thin and unobtrusive in your mouth. Many of our testers also loved the stylish shape, one that bridges the gap between modern angled sides and the more classic round bowl.

We ruled out a number of other champagne flutes from Baccarat, Lalique, Orrefors, Villeroy & Boch, Reed & Barton, Noritake, Nambé, Ritzenhoff, Royal Doulton, Luminarc, and IKEA for a variety of reasons, including weight, height, shape, fragility, cost, and stock issues.

To test for versatility, we conducted a brand-concealed tasting (most recently with Mary Taylor, a wine importer and distributor who has previously worked as a sommelier). We tasted six vastly different wines in every glass, including $15-to-$20 reds and whites, a $10 red, aged wine, and natural wine.

We also polled a dozen members of Wirecutter staff on how they drink at home and asked them to taste wine from the glasses they were most attracted to, then to score the experience.

The Riedel Ouverture Magnum was a previous top pick. However, in a later round of testing, our experts found the stem on the Ouverture Magnum too short and unpleasant to hold.

For stemless glassware, we recommend the Rastal Harmony, an inexpensive, durable glass with a modern look. Although it was the most compact of the stemless glasses we tested, the angled edges of the Harmony made it easy to swirl and aerate wine. This glass was also the most comfortable to handle among the stemless options we tested.

The best wine glass for everyday use is the Libbey Signature Kentfield Estate All-Purpose Wine Glass. We particularly recommend this inexpensive, 16-ounce tulip-shaped glass if you mostly drink bottles of wine in the $20 or less range, enjoy entertaining, or simply want a set of stemware that doesn’t cost a fortune. The Libbey was a favorite of our experts and non-experts alike, showcased the aromas of both reds and whites well, and has a classic look that’s appropriate for daily use or formal occasions. It’s nicely balanced and durable, with a thin lip that doesn’t distract from enjoying the overall drinking experience. It’s also dishwasher safe.

With the help of experts, we’ve tasted wine out of nearly 100 brand-concealed wine glasses since 2014 and we think the best everyday choice is the Libbey Signature Kentfield Estate All-Purpose Wine Glass. It’s inexpensive yet elegant, and in our testing it enhanced the aromas of both red and white wines better than most of the competition.

Zalto’s Denk’Art Universal glass was previously our upgrade pick and is widely considered the sine qua non of fine glassware among oenophiles and restaurant goers. Our two main issues with the Zalto Universal are its price and its light weight, both of which deterred most people from wanting to use the glass in the first place.

You have just converted four hundred and twenty-eight dollars to canadian dollar according to the recent foreign exchange rate 1.39318.

Additionally, after our brand-concealed taste testing, we were able to dismiss other wine glasses from Stölzle, Riedel, Nachtmann, Schott Zwiesel, Spiegelau, Luigi Bormioli, Bormioli Rocco, Snowe, Libbey, Mikasa, Luminarc, Ravenscroft, Rogaska, Rosenthal, Villeroy & Boch, Lenox, Waterford, Crate and Barrel, IKEA, Target, and Bed Bath & Beyond.

And although it may seem counterintuitive with delicate stemware, all of our picks (and most wine glasses) can go in the dishwasher. In fact, some high-end wine glasses specify that machine washing is preferred. This is because the biggest risk for breaking comes during handwashing, where a glass can slip and hit the sink or snap if you twist the bowl and stem in opposite directions.

Stem preferred: We primarily focused on stemmed wine glasses, because they offer a better drinking experience than stemless glasses. When you hold a stemless glass, you quickly warm the wine past the optimal drinking temperature. Furthermore, you leave unsightly fingerprints all over the bowl of the glass, especially after touching food.

The Jancis Robinson x Richard Brendon glass is the result of a highly anticipated collaboration between an English design company and Jancis Robinson, an acclaimed wine critic. This glass performs extremely well, and wine importer Mary Taylor noticed it worked best with aged red wine. But our testers had the same discomfort gripping such a thin stem that they did using the Zalto.

With its elegant shape and excellent performance, the Gabriel-Glas StandArt is a smart investment for people who regularly spend more than $20 on a bottle and are interested in appreciating the finer details of wine. It’s a beautiful object with a unique silhouette that stands out without being ostentatious. It performed just as well as competitors twice the price and doesn’t feel so delicate that you’ll only opt to use it from time to time.

The Ravenscroft Crystal 18-ounce glass was a previous stemless pick and remains a nice option, but we favored the Rastal Harmony for its looks and durability.

Balance and weight: We looked for glasses that were well-balanced and didn’t feel wobbly when full of wine. The best had bases that were about the same circumference as the widest part of the bowl.

It's versatile. While it’s not great at enhancing the flavor of more delicate wines, the Harmony can also be used for water and cocktails, so the set you acquire for casual wine drinking can pull double duty as a water glass during more formal moments.

According to the experts we interviewed, you don’t really need a separate glass for Champagne. In fact, the wider, tulip shape of a wine glass does a much better job of enhancing the delicate aromas of pricier bubblies. But if you still fancy an elegant flute, we recommend the voluptuous Riedel Vinum Cuvee Prestige. It walks the line between a tall flute and the more useful (aromatically speaking) bowl of a traditional wine glass, and has ample capacity to hold a generous pour of bubbly without overflowing.

Like stemless wine glasses but with superpowers (cold drinks for hours! won’t shatter by the pool!), our wine tumbler picks ensure smooth summer sipping.

To test for the ideal flute shape, we dropped a Mentos into four different Champagne-filled flutes that had been sitting for 15 minutes. The Mentos accelerated the nucleation process and released most of the carbonation that was left—whichever glass produced the most fizz had preserved carbonation the best. Tulip-shaped bowls were the big winner

Our conversations with experts helped us determine the ideal features of a wine glass. Here's what we looked for in our research and testing:

If you want something that looks and feels more special than the Libbey glass and showcases wines with more nuance (particularly wines in the over $20 per bottle category), we recommend the Gabriel-Glas StandArt. It’s versatile and performed as well in our taste tests as glasses costing twice as much.

This is not a comprehensive list of everything we tested in previous iterations of this guide, just what’s still available.

It's a decent value. It’s sometimes advised that you should spend the same amount of money on a wine glass that you would for a typical bottle of wine. While $32 is not inexpensive for any single piece of tableware, in the spectrum of glasses, wine paraphernalia, and wine itself, the StandArt is relatively affordable for the experience it delivers.

This inexpensive tulip-shaped glass showcases both red and white wines well. It’s durable yet still thin and elegant enough for dinner parties.

It's attractive and robust. The angled edges of the Harmony made for a sturdier glass that was almost impossible to knock over during our drop tests (it often popped back upright like a punching clown). If you choose stemless glasses for parties or large dinners, the Rastal Harmony takes up less space on a table and packs more easily into the dishwasher.

Durability: We performed drop tests with all of our finalists: We knocked them over 10 times onto a hardwood surface, both when the glass was empty and filled one-third full with water. We also hit the bowl of the glass against the edge of a granite counter to see how it would fare.
