Wine & Bar Martini Glass, Set of 2

Product Information

Whisky, Gin and water tumblers available in all shapes and sizes in a wide selection of beautiful hand cuttings Veteran bartenders Jena Lane and Steven Ferreira have part of a set of these stunning Schott Zwiesel coupes, designed in collaboration with award-winning barman Charles Joly. With a capacity of 9.1 ounces and impressive durability, these etched glasses are on the larger side of the coupe glass spectrum, making them great for sours, according to Ferreira. Plus, the sentimental value makes for a great conversation starter. “Any time someone compliments [this] glass, I always tell the story of how it wound up in my possession," he says.

Glass is almost always the best choice for home bartenders as the material is as durable as it is sophisticated. But if you're willing to splurge, then crystal is the way to go. Beware that certain crystal coupes can be more delicate than glass. I'm incredibly particular about glassware: how it feels in my hand texturally, the balance, the glassmaking technique, and the size of the bowl,” says bartender and drinks writer Tyler Zielinski. “NUDE glassware is my top recommendation nine times out of ten because of how affordable these glasses are, given their quality."Though this glass is machine-made, it has the weight and clarity of handblown crystal. It's sturdier than the brand's stemmed versions, too, making it great for everyday use. Plus, it's dishwasher safe. It’s always worth keeping an eye out for good second-hand glassware at vintage, consignment, and thrift stores, but until you find your perfect match, you can get a brand-new set inspired by vintage designs. (Plus, with vintage crystal, you run the risk of finding some with lead.) For this reason, we put the vintage-inspired Godinger Champagne Coupes to the test. There are also materials like Tritan, a durable glass replica. The material offers all the clarity and design of glass, but without the ability to shatter. If you’re prone to breaking crystal or you like to bring your drinks into nature, Tritan is an option that suits your needs. Beverage consultant Damon Roseberry has long been a fan of Libbey’s coupes, specifically this 8-ounce model from the brand’s Master’s Reserve collection, available mostly at wholesale. “The shallow depth, wide mouth, and long stem [make] drinks look sleek yet don’t fool a customer into believing they’re being shorted,” he notes.

Our crystal decanters are available in a variety of different shapes and sizes to compliment your drinks selection. Most old fashioned glasses are made with glass, crystal, or lead-free crystal. The latter is harder and more durable than glass, so it withstands etching and engraving embellishments. It also refracts the light beautifully and is typically more expensive than glass.

While there are many tall tales about where the coupe glass originated (including one rumor that it’s modeled after Marie Antoinette’s breast), coupe glasses were first found at a 1600s Benedictine monastery. While that was the first iteration of the coupe we sip from today, the ancient Greeks would sip from stemmed, bowl-shaped glasses called Mastos.

Riedel has had over 300 years to perfect the craftsmanship of its crystal, and its Spey Whisky Tumblers combine affordability, quality, and style into one excellent whiskey glass. The name is a nod to Scotland’s River Spey, an area that is renowned for producing exceptional whiskies in the Speyside region. In homage to the river, the glass features a chic design of diamond- and wedge-cut glass in the style of Art Nouveau. Crystal margarita glasses are a must-have for anyone who likes a nice margarita. The broad rim of these glasses makes it simple to salt them, while the stem keeps your drink ice without chilling your hand.

She has been writing about the bar and spirits world for five years. Outside of writing, she is a working sommelier and bartender with her WSET-III. To test these glasses, she served two defining drinks in them—a clear, ice-cold martini to gauge how the lip served high-end spirits and a fluffy Brandy Alexander to test how the glass showcases foam. There are higher grades of plastic glasses that are designed to be reused multiple times, just like a regular glass. These glasses are far more durable and designed to be used outdoors and on poolsides, with a heavier construction that mimics glass but is virtually shatterproof.
