Choosing the right drinking glasses may seem straightforward at first. In practice, unclear capacity information, delicate materials or an unsuitable design can quickly lead to the wrong purchase. Most households need versatile water glasses for everyday use, while hosts, bars and event organisers may also be looking for highball glasses, cocktail glasses or durable options for larger gatherings.
A glass with a capacity of 300 ml won’t be filled to the brim when serving a drink. With water, juice or soft drinks, there’s usually room left for ice. Wine is often poured to around a third of the glass’s capacity. Check that the stated size suits the portion you want to serve:
Not every glass described as dishwasher-safe will withstand every programme. Soda-lime glass is suitable for cold and lukewarm drinks, but can crack if exposed to sudden temperature changes. Coloured finishes and gold rims may lose their clarity or colour when exposed to harsh detergents and high temperatures.
Always check the specific care instructions. A glass may be dishwasher-safe, but a gentle glassware cycle or hand washing may be recommended to maintain its finish over time.
Stemmed glasses, thin rims and decorative cut-glass designs look elegant, but need more care when handling and washing. For glasses for parties and events, weight, stability and the risk of breakage are more important. Plastic glasses can be a practical choice outdoors, but aren’t automatically suitable for hot drinks, microwaves or dishwashers.
Soda-lime glass is widely used for drinking glasses. It offers a clear appearance and is suitable for cold drinks. The glasses listed in the product details are made from lead-free soda-lime glass and are stated to be suitable for food contact under Regulation (EC) No 1935/2004. Always check this information for the specific product.
Crystal glass is often chosen for its clarity and brilliance. It is still fragile and isn’t automatically heat-resistant. For plastic glasses used at events, check the material, whether they can be reused and the cleaning instructions. Polystyrene glasses, for example, are intended for cold drinks and should not be put in the microwave or exposed to direct heat.
A low centre of gravity and a sturdy base help reduce the risk of tipping. With stemmed glasses, check that the join between the bowl and stem is well finished, and take care when putting them away.
Even dishwasher-safe glasses shouldn’t be filled with very cold liquids straight after a hot wash cycle. Avoid boiling water, ovens, microwaves and sudden temperature changes with ordinary glass. Cracked, chipped or damaged glasses should no longer be used.
Store glasses upright. Avoid stacking them inside one another if this could cause scratches or pressure marks. A soft, lint-free cloth helps prevent water marks, while scouring pads and wire wool can scratch glass and decoration.

Tumblers or water glasses with a capacity of 27 to 31 cl are versatile options for everyday use. They’re suitable for water, juice, soft drinks and many cold mixed drinks. A sturdy base and smooth rim make them easier to use. If you often serve wine, add suitable wine glasses to your collection.
A glass’s lifespan depends on its material, wall thickness, care and how it’s handled. Soda-lime glass can be damaged by knocks, scratches or sudden temperature changes. Hand washing or a gentle glassware cycle can help keep the surface clear for longer. Check each glass for cracks and chips before use.
No. Suitability varies from product to product. Some tumblers, highball glasses and certain wine glasses are marked as dishwasher-safe. Coloured glasses, plastic glasses and those with decoration may need to be washed by hand. Always follow the care instructions for the specific product.
