I was having a hard time, but after thinking about it for a while (and price aside) I think I love them. Not for a nice dinner party, but for an evening of wine with friends, for sure.

I couldn't decide! lol They are quite interesting, but for some reason... they make me laugh.

I can grow to like them, and they are Czech, probably one of the best quality and blown glass producers in the world.

For me, wine glasses are supposed to be classic and graceful, and these just aren't. Bleh.

NO! hate it!

me too kscincotta!

I don't know if I could enjoy a glass of wine out of this! It seems much more suited for a college party, filled with some random beverage before being discarded at the end of the night. Definitely not feeling this.

Does it not look like the throw away plastic cups atop a wine stem? These could be the new cups of choice for keg parties, but that would be an expensive party.

Hate it.

Ten years ago in Paris I found a stemless, white ceramic version of these cups in the Centre Pompidou gift shop! Mine are extra cool because they're dented in the sides--as you would slightly crush them before throwing them in the trash.

Although intended to be cappucino cups, I use mine as mini vases. I'll line them down the center of my table and surround them with tea lights. They're low enough where they don't obstruct the view of guests during dinner, and take up minimal space on the table.

Anyway, I think the new interpretation by Veclovsky is pretty fab. They remind me of a wallflower teetering about in stilettos--just beautifully awkward and fun! Only thing--I wouldn't pay $50 for one of those glasses. I'll wait for a cheaper imitation to come out at West Elm or something!

Hate it!!

I don't know a single proper Sommelier who would EVER endorse this as a wine glass

Really? I think "proper" sommeliers are less likely to endorse the economy size, to go cup-looking wine glasses found in American restaurants.

As a certified wine snob & foodie, presentation means everything to me. The thing I love the most about these glasses is that they can make a gorgeous table seem less intimidating--especially to guests who don't know much about wine. These glasses encourage you to enjoy your drink without taking it or the evening too seriously, which is what you want when you're spending time with friends.

Again, I think they're fantastic!

they look like plastic dixie cups on a stem! hate it

oops sorry daisyray.... great minds think alike! and here i thought my impression of them was original

I kind of like them but wouldn't pay $50 per glass for them.

hate it, the look like plastic cups with a stick at the end

I know this is an old post, but I just had to say "duh". They are supposed to look like the plastic cups with a stick on the end. They are meant to amuse, not for a State dinner at the White House. I don't find the price tag amusing though. Maybe I'll just get a real plastic cup and put a stick on the end.
