independant Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 I seem to be on a glass breaking spree here lately. One while washing over the weekend and one while putting them away after letting them air dry. So that makes two broken for me.How many have you broken?

tommyboy38 Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 My wife and i went to Whiskyfest this year and each received a glass. Since I'm the bourbon drinker, I guess they were "mine". She broke one two day later when doing the dishes. i suspect it was done on purpose so I'll do the dishes more.:slappin: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

p_elliott Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 I, knock on wood haven't broke one yet or one of my Riedel's either. I hand wash them and hand dry them. I'll probably break one today now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funknik Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 I broke two different snifters in one day a few months ago, trying to reach inside to clean them while I was doing the dishes . . . I have been extra careful since and haven't broken any glasses (plus, my wife has a propensity for bring spare glasses home for me fairly often, just in case).

fishnbowljoe Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 I have seven Glencairn glasses. Two crystal ones from Old Forester Repeal sets, two crystal ones from BD, one glass one from BT (Old Rip VanWinkle), and two plain glass ones that I picked up at an estate sale for $1 each. I use the two that I got at the estate sale. Not that I'm cheap, but if I break one of those, it's no big deal. :grin: So far so good. Haven't broken one yet. And yes, I'm keeping my fingers are crossed. :skep: Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jburlowski Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 This is why I don't like delicate, foo-foo glasses. Give me a simple old fashion glass [with some heft ti it] anyday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
p_elliott Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 This is why I don't like delicate, foo-foo glasses. Give me a simple old fashion glass [with some heft ti it] anyday.But I can break 15 of these for what you paid for 2 of those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OscarV Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 I was shaking out the water after rinsing an Old Rip Glencairn and it slipped out of my hand and shattered in the sink.Other snifters I have broken are to numerous to count. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ILLfarmboy Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 For some reason I break more wine glasses than anything else, usually washing them. I haven't broke any Riedels while washing them. I don't have any Glencairns. I've broke a couple Riedels while drinking and talking. I talk with my hands a lot and, well, while drinking I've knocked a few glasses to the floor.

plaid_emu Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 I broke a small snifter at my ten year high-school reunion last year. I had waaaaay too much Knob Creek that night. Sloppy motor skills and reflexes come with the territory, I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spun_cookie Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 Well, it all my years of drinking I have never broken bottle… and did I pick a shitty time to start. For those of you that have the ORVW 23 yr, be careful when you pull that crystal stopper out. It is in there super snug and as I pulled mine out, it clipped the decanter… sending crystal parts all over. I salvaged about half of the bottle, but the decanter I was looking forward to as much as the incredible bourbon… it no longer I am remarkable calm for such a disastrous event… but I think I may still be in shock :cry: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think my wife may have been confused with my reaction... and did not know how to get pissed off at me for breaking a $350-400 bottle of bourbon... I think she may have just felt pitty for my dumb ass and figured I was going to abuse myself far more than she coud... And in cost per stupitidy... your $100-125 oops still is a better route than mine... granted BevMo prices for the Hrsch are close to $300, but neither of us have made the mistake of buying Hirsch Gold Foil at that price OK... now I nead a drink... maybe my 6 yr old can pour if for me...
