Yesterday at Target I bought these and these. I already love them. Some people believe buying these is like buying boxed wines. They want to use the traditional wine stem glasses and say these glasses are unacceptable. Some say that putting white wine in the stemless glass means you'll warm the glass with your hand. You don't have to cup the glass in your hand; you hold the glass mid way and above the level of wine.
I like these glasses because they are nice and steady so I won't be knocking them over and breaking them. And I can carefully stack them in the cupboard. And they are beautiful too.
And, oh yeah, they are on sale at Target.
UPDATED: In researching a comment on the type of glasses, I also found this:
Stemmed wine glasses are mostly a French invention. The US and some parts of Europe use stemmed glasses, but many European countries such as Italy, Spain, and Greece drink wine from solid bottom glasses resembling what we in the US call juice glasses.
The stemmed glasses don't really mean anything unless you are a truly dedicated wine lover. Most people cannot tell what a wine is like any better from a stemmed glass or a solid bottom glass. source: What are the different types of wine glasses?
