Why DO Glass Manufacturers Not Make Matching Water Glasses ?

Post by MarKofQuality »

A very good question posed by my better half - why don't the better glass manufacturers produce matching stylish water glasses to go with my set of fine champaneing, wining, fortified(ing ?) and brandying glasses ????

She would MAKE me buy the matching glasses if for no other reason than so that the table setting all matches ...

What is this "water" you speak of?

Riedel do make a set of matching tumblers (stemless wine glasses) based on the same shapes as their Vinum range. So if you like the Vinum, you can buy matching tumblers. But, to be honest, I'd prefer non-matching water glasses anyway. Wouldn't want to mix up my Vegemite glasses that I use for win with those I use for water...
