Stemless glasses are the younger brother/sister to the traditional wine glass. The stemless glass fits perfectly and comfortably in the palm of your hand. The glass is designed to hold both red and white wines alike, but it is argued that red wines benefit from the warmth of a person's hand around the glass.

Stemless white glasses are smaller and narrower, while stemless red glasses have the traditional large, open bowl shape. Red wines are more suited to stemless glasses because they are best served at 54-65°F.

The biggest difference, and possibly an advantage, of the stemless wine glasses, is that without the stem, the glass has a lower center of gravity, making it harder to knock over and spill. This should come as no surprise to anyone who has ever spilled a stemmed wine glass.

As a final point, stemless wine glasses are easier to care for. “They tend to break less,” says Cabrales. “A [traditional] wine glass has three parts - the base, the stem and the bowl - so it's either one piece or three pieces.” Stemless wine glasses, on the other hand, allow for a more durable and compact storage option.

By reducing the height of the glasses they are now able to fit more easily inside cabinets or drawers depending on where you want to keep them. It also makes them much easier to wash in the dishwasher. Finally, the stemless style seems to fit more with the way the world is today.

Although an expensive wine glass will never make a lousy wine taste good, it will make average wines taste great. High-end stemware is ideal for formal events. This is the type of wine glass you'll find in fine-dining restaurants, and wine enthusiasts worldwide will have more than a few of these art pieces.

A short, wide bowl is ideal for red wine while a taller, more narrow bowl is more suitable for white wine. The stem of a wine glass has two different functions. The first is letting you hold the glass without touching the bowl. If you do touch the bowl, you may risk warming the wine, which might affect its taste.

The Romans almost always mixed their wine with water - drinking undiluted wine was considered barbaric. Mixing was done in the glass, so most Roman drinking vessels were rather simple, and stemless, like this one, dating from the 3rd century AD.

You should be able to throw (maybe swirling can do it) the wine around in the glass in order to unlock all the aromas. A wine glass is normally more narrow at the top for two reasons: so the wine doesn't end up on the floor when swirling. it helps collect the unlocked aromas and makes it easier for us to smell them.

It's solidly built, but still elegant, with a nicely tapered bowl that captures and directs aroma.
