I've only had one broken glass... and my daughter broke it while doing dishes. Any future broken glasses will be my fault because no one will wash them anymore.![]()

I don't use glencairns. I use the Bulleit Bourbon, heavy bottom, thick rim glass. Those things are indestructible.

Just got my first 6 today, I will protect them (and their contents) with any means necessary.
I always thought the point about the Glencairn is its stability and practical indestructibility. Are you guys throwing these in the fireplace?
Now Reidel stemware is another problem entirely ...

I broke a handful of drinking glasses in a move where they weren't packaged well, but that's been my only incident. Pint glasses are another story.
Ditto on the wine glasses. I usualy break 'em while washing them.
I use Ridel bourbon glasses/snifters/and lowball glasses. I haven't broken a whiskey glass in a few years.
You guys must be hell on glasses.
I have a habit of talking with my hands and I've been known to knock my drink over when intoxicated. I've knocked over a reidel a couple times doing this but haven't broke one yet

My whole family (and many of my friends) talk with their hands... I don't like stemless wine glasses, so I stick with wineglasses by Libbey for the big family events...
My whiskey glasses are generally all short, wide and durable. It's just better that way. I have a Glencairn for tasting, but it spends most of its time hiding away from my tender mercies...![]()
I have 4 GC's and none have broke. My wife once droped one on the kitchen floor and not a scratch. Wine glasses break, not GC's. Maybe your fiance thinks you drink too much.![]()
