Red, white, bubbly? Back in my college days, I used to (incorrectly) assume all vino was basically the same, and that the type of glass I was sipping it out of didn't matter. For the record, at this point in my life I was also buying $8 Piesporter with a fake I.D. from the local Rite Aid, so my knowledge of varietals and vintages was extremely limited. Back in those days (R.I.P undergrad), my girlfriends and I would drink wine out of any old thing we could find in our sorority kitchen, including red Solo cups. If you just shuddered at the thought, know that I could quite literally taste the plastic when I typed that sentence.

Now that I'm getting the hang of this thing called adulting, I realize that sipping an ice-cold Sancerre from a top-notch wine glass does actually make a difference in the overall tasting experience. Whenever I whip out a long stem glass (Olivia Pope-style, ofc), I feel like a Filthy Rich Bitch™ in the best way possible. Plus, any sommelier will tell you it's just the proper thing to do to truly experience all of the flavors in every. single. sip.

So, in an effort to upgrade your bar cart and make your next wine night as posh as humanly possible, I rounded up the best of the best wine glasses available right now. Take a peek, shop your favorites, and pour one out for your Cosmo editors who are putting in the work to bring you these bbs in the first place. *Clink*

Pastel Mixed Set of 6

Those wine charms your mom knows (and loves for some odd reason?) are now a thing of the past. That's because your guests stand zero chance of mixing up their wine glasses when each one is a different color. Available as a mixed set, each order includes a blush pink, rose, cobalt blue, lavender, mint green, and yellow hand-blown glass.

The Half Glass Set

The devil and Kris Jenner both work hard, but honestly? These stackable wine glasses work harder. Ultra-thin and ultra-durable, these dishwasher safe stackables do the most because they double as wine glasses, rocks glasses, and your standard, run-of-the-mill water glass. Can any of the stemmed beauties below do all three? We think not.
