How many wine glasses have you broken?

[Robert.A.Jr]

Robert Alfert is going to be the winner, hands down! Or should I say bleeding hands down!!!

Todd and Charlie are right, I easily win this one. I snap them a pic every time. It’s shocking how often and how many. I’m a Neanderthal.

And the worst part is, I do not even wash them.

Hmm, perhaps that all ties in. Use it, break it, don’t have to clean it.

All but 8…and those are all of random vintage and brand at this point.

This question is like asking “How many of your romantic relationships of yours are currently intact.”

That would make a great thread…broken stem pics.

[Jay_Miller]

How many stars in the sky, how many grains of sand on the beach, how many snowflakes in a blizzard…

[Ian_Alper]

What Craig said above- house rule is wine glasses do not get washed until the next day. Still can’t count how many we have broken over the years.

[B_Davies]

Dozens if not hundreds. I’ve done it every way imaginable. The latest was when I went to put a bottle in my carry bag without looking to go out to dinner and forgot I had a glass in that slot. Smashed a Zalto universal to a million pieces. Did not mention that episode to my wife…

oooOF that Zalto!

I was going to guess 10, but realized:
-I’ve purchased a 6-pak and 2 x 8-paks of Riedel Bordeaux glasses, but only have 10 left. (14 broken!)
-purchased a 6 & 8 pak of Riedel Sauv Blanc glasses, have 8 left. (6)

• purchased at least 18 Schott Zwiesel Burgundy, gave 4 away, still have 12. (2 broken)
  -remember breaking a few Jouet Flutes.
  No broken Zaltos or Grassls.

So I’m at 25 that I can remember!!

That moment when you realize you should buy cheaper glasses haha

Is there a number greater than infinity?

infinity +1 right?

New definition of disposable drinkware.

[Albert_R]

Too many to keep count!

[Kevin_Porter]

This week?

Since lunch?

[R_Serafin]

Personally, only one and that was wiping the rim that had some sediment from a bad pour. Snapped the stem and the rest shattered into a million pieces(although I like the atoms reference). My hands are not built or wash these glasses so my wife has broken about 7. Not a blame, just a function of time.

[Kirk.Grant]

I would say more than 50, and less than 100 over the last 20+ years.

[Dan_A]

Me 1, guests 1/2 dozen

[J_a_y_H_a_c_k]

Something into three digits.

[Bob_Hoelting]

Probably about a dozen over the past 20 years. But the only four that really hurt were the 4 Gabriel Glas Gold’s that I killed in less than a two year span. Having much better luck with Grassl Liberte’s (thus far)

[Tom_G_l_a_s_g_o_w]

Once a zalto bowl broke and cut my wrist up. Now I have a small sperm shaped scar

I wear gloves when I hand wash, but only broke a few washing. The drying I’ve had plenty of breaks and an occasional cut, almost always due to distracted drying. Had two glasses break in a row with the same exact break.

[lleichtman]

I’m fairly lucky. I’ve only broken about 3 glasses total.

Although this topic reminds me of a woman who rammed her cart into the endcap and the whole display of wine and olive oil crashed down. That was a nightmare to clean.

We’ve broken dozens.

[Andrew_K]

Broke all 6 of my last set over a few years. Broke a couple of Grassls.

[Eric_Werner]

So many that the rule in our house is that I am not allowed to wash glasses the same night I drink out of them, regardless of how much has been consumed. Sadly, that rule hasn’t stopped the carnage.
