For some, however, a broken glass equals money down the drain. But if a Libbey Signature Kentfield Estate All-Purpose Wine Glass should break, you won’t be crestfallen. That’s because it’s relatively inexpensive, even though the thinness of the glass and its elegant stem would suggest otherwise. In our tests, the Libbey stood out among a crowded table of stemware because it showcased red and white wines well. This wine glass has a classic look that’s well suited to daily use as well as to more-formal occasions, like dinner parties.
Our pick
This inexpensive tulip-shaped glass showcases both red and white wines well. It’s durable yet still thin and elegant enough for dinner parties.
The Libbey has remained our favorite all-purpose wine glass since 2017. This wine glass stands out for its nicely balanced shape and surprising durability. In our tests, we found that the tulip-shaped bowl helped preserve the aroma of wine so it could be enjoyed longer. The 16-ounce volume is also suitable for nearly all styles of wines. And the Libbey’s thin lip feels more sophisticated than those on most other glasses in this price range, which tend to be thick and clunky. The Libbey wine glass is also dishwasher-safe.
