Stemless wine glasses? A good idea or not?

When we first moved into this lifestyle village, we were given a gift of six glasses and a cheeseboard by the developer. It was done up nicely in a box. I think the glasses are meant to be stemless wine glasses but we’ll be using them as water glasses. Although the idea of stemless wine glasses seems good, I think white wine would get too warm from a person having to hold the glass in their hands. Maybe they’d be okay for red wine but in the middle of summer, our ‘room temperature’ can be a bit above what is probably regarded as ideal for red wine. We often put red wine in the fridge for a short period before opening it.

I think it would be easier to drink without the stems.

I think that is a good idea, Less chance of knocking the glasses over,

The trouble is that your hands are warming the glass.

I think they are OK. Sometimes those stems break.

I think so too. We'll be sticking to stemmed glasses.

We will use them for water, Scotch and soda, and similar drinks.

I would prefer those with the stem, even though they appear kind of fragile.

I've seen those on TV shows like the Blue Bloods but they use them to drink Scotch or bourbon.

We could use these for those sort of drinks too.

I would just use them for regular drinks like water.
