    Hi Everybody - My birthday is at the end of the month and after I searched long and hard for specific random albums for my sister for Christmas, I need to challenge her into finding Cantillon Balloon Glasses and/or other Cantillon Glasses.

    My search has led me to Trappist World's website, prices are about $15 each glass for what isn't sold out yet.

    Is this what I should expect elsewhere? Thank you in advance for suggestions.

    (Had my first Cantillon on New Year's Day out of my go-to wine glass but thought the whole time the only thing missing is a glass for the occasion.)

    Cantillon sells glasses directly. Also belgiuminabox.com. Happy Birthday!

    When I was attending Siebel in 2007, I walked into The Map Room and ordered a Lou Pepe. I was simply blown away when said beer arrived in an appropriate Cantillon glass. This led to a long discussion with the owner regarding his glassware policies.

    At the end of my visit I paid my tab and was astounded when the bartender gifted me a matching pair of glasses.

    Moral of the story...you just never know when and where it might happen, so keep your eyes open!

    That's a great story. Recently visited the Map Room and love the selection, staff is pretty cool too, solid atmosphere. I will not drink my LPF until proper glassware arrives!

    Much cheaper than a roundtrip flight to Belgium.
