"We like the way short, stubby wine glasses add a note of nonchalance to a dinner party. The squat stem glass is more casual and understated than their elongated, more fragile counterparts. Case in point: At a recent dinner party, I served drinks in low-to-the-table glasses. I noticed that guests seemed unusually at ease. Maybe it was the glass, or maybe it was the wine, but I'm convinced that shorter is better."

Short, stubby wine glasses add a note of nonchalance to a dinner party and create a more casual, understated atmosphere than elongated, fragile stemware. Serving drinks in low-to-the-table glasses can make guests feel unusually at ease, whether because of the glass form or the wine itself, leading to a preference for shorter stems. Several commercially available options illustrate the trend, including the Iittala Lempi Glass Set of 4, individually handblown stemmed glasses from Michoacan, the Amwell Red Wine Stemware Set of four short glasses, and Jasper Morrison’s Glass Family Goblet available as a set.
