Less Stem

When H (and now J&J) use stemless barware, I know they are ahead of the trend curve and I must hop on the D-train before the peasants get on. I do think (after much consideration) that there is some logic in the use of this. We traditionally use thick blown glass tumblers as a standard for casual evening meals. It is easy, convenient and I am able to fit them into the dishwasher. Stemmed glasses are probably best for special occasions and white-linen restaurants. To combine the convenience of a tumbler and the benefits of a wine orb, stemless barware is here to stay and swirl.
