Hot or Not: Break Resistant Wine Glasses

2007_03_15_oxygenglass.JPG Smashing? Tell us what you think of these wine glasses in today's poll. We found this O2xygen by Lenox stemware at Macy's on State Street in Chicago, formerly Marshall Field's flagship.

Another customer egged us on so we had to test them out: first gently clinking two glasses together, then banging one with gusto against the display pedestal. The glass didn't break, but we didn't buy.

They're priced at $39.99 -- $10 a stem.

 
 

We pick up bargain wine glasses by the case at Bed Bath & Beyond, but wonder if we should have given these fancier glasses a shot.

How did they feel? My wine glasses feel like I could look at them the wrong way and they would shatter, and that's what I like about them. They're delicate. I have more durable glassware, but I take the risk when I'm drinking wine. I guess if these felt nice in the hand they'd be ok.

I looked at buying some of these for a gift for my brother and his wife, they have a two year old and thought they would appreciate it. I ended up not buying them, but they felt fine in the store as I recall.
