Boba Pup Corgi Butt Glasses– Similarly, current Hop Culture Managing Editor Grace Weitz fell in love with these absolutely adorable corgi butt glasses when stopping for a boba tea in Santa Clara before the Minnesota Vikings vs San Francisco 49ers game at Levi Stadium. White wine glasses usually have a shorter stem and bowl than red wine glasses because white wine has a lighter flavor profile. And Bent Paddle Brewing Co. in Duluth, MN also adds nods to its Northern Minnesota terroir with a MiiR Camp Mug full of trees, lakes, and clouds. Today’s young wine industry takes things much less seriously than in years past. The colorful world of natural wine has hit the mainstream and, while many of the wines can look and taste just like traditional, commercial wine, there’s a fun-first approach to drinking and enjoying wine. As such, the standards for serving and presenting wine have changed. Who has the space for an army of “proper” wine glasses? In a pinch, a halfway decent pint glass is sufficient. So don’t sweat the super expensive, hype-fragile glasses. We’re just starting to see this stainless steel vessel gain steam, so it’s not available everywhere. But here are a couple options:

Riedel O Wine Tumbler Cabernet/Merlot, Set of 4: While users liked the shape of this glass, it was very light and felt like it would break incredibly easily. We also weren’t a fan of the sharp rim.

Snifter GlassFOR BARS, RESTAURANTS AND HOME USE: This 12-piece drinking glass set can be used by bar, pub and restaurant owners. You can also use these stylish medium-sized glasses at home during family dinners, or when you host parties. Regardless, the medium glasses will look amazing! Moomin Glass Cup– Previous Hop Culture Managing Editor (and golden boy) John A. Paradiso discovered this line of Moomin glassware and immediately fell in love. Using original illustrations from Tove Jansson, the whimsical, delightful glasses can double as a decorative element holding a candle or tealight. Perfect for juice, iced tea, kombucha, or a floral beer, add the Moomin cups to your collection. Humble Sea Humble Village Tall Boy Glass– Like the above Beer Can Glass just bigger! The tall boy version of this vessel give even more space to talented artists and designers.

These glasses have an iconic bell shape and a long stem. They’re specifically designed for easy drinking and elegance. The long stem helps control the temperature (have you noticed the trend?) and the general bell shape gives it a high-class look. Nude Pure Set of 4 Bourgogne Glasses: This style of wine glass is traditionally used for wines with delicate flavors; the larger bowl allows the wine to open up more and the nuanced flavors to rise to the top. And if these glasses had stems, we might have liked them more, but as a stemless glass, they were just too large to comfortably hold—they gave off fishbowl vibes.
