    I'm hosting a bottle-share at the end of this month, and am looking for a set of tasting-glasses. Ideally, I want a (duvel) tulip, stemless, 5-6 ounces or so. Alas, it doesn't seem like they make such a thing. So, I'm setting for a stemless wine glass in about the same shape as the tulip, a little larger than what I want, but a great price:

    I looked through the other "tasting-glasses" thread on here, but didn't see a whole lot. So I thought I'd ask if any of you breweriana folk know if a stemless tulip even exists, and where to find it. (I'll also take any suggestions you have on the best/most-versatile glass for a tasting event!)

    Thanks in advance!

    Just curious, why are you wedded to the stemless idea?

    I haven't seen too many small tulips, but here's a 6oz mini snifter that would likely work well.

    I'm not wedded to the stemless idea (although we have a kid together), but I think they're more modern, easier to clean, and less likely to break.

    Thanks for the mini-snifter link; that's another one I had considered.

    The one on the right is a Cognac tulip. They do work well.
