Pairing Style with Stability
Not all glasses are created equal! While The Glass Slipper fits most stemmed glasses, some with unusually wide bases may pose challenges. For instance, we've personally tested the Riedel Winewings series, which is a beautiful large wine glass with an expansive base, and while it fits, the substantial base limits its ability to benefit from the enhanced spill-resistance that other glasses might experience.
