DOSSIER

A few months ago we had a bit of a disaster in our kitchen, two of the shelves in our cupboard fell, smashing all of our wine glasses in one fell swoop (ahh, renting in New York). It was probably inevitable that each glass would break eventually, but it was unexpected to lose them all at once. We made due, drinking our daily glass of wine from unassuming water glasses and I didn’t put much thought into new glasses until I found these… Alternative wine glasses, Spanish style, by the Spartan Shop. The short, stemless stature ensures longevity (unless the shelves fall again) and I find them more alluring than traditional stemware. I loved them so much, and we needed so many, that I found them on Amazon for a lot less, only $20/12. They arrived today and they are not only perfect for wine but they can double as small bowls. When I suggested they’d be great for ice cream, Dermot said… “Not for the amount of ice cream you eat… ” He speaks the truth, lol.
