Tips for choosing your glasses
Consider their primary use. For everyday use, look for medium-thickness glass tumblers, stackable if you need to save space. The standard capacity for water is usually 25 to 35 cl. If you're looking for versatility, a clean, straight-lined design will work for water, a soft drink, or a simple cocktail. Check if they're dishwasher-safe for easy cleaning. For hot drinks or to coordinate with your tableware, porcelain tumblers are an excellent and unique choice.
