BASIC PERSONALIZED WINE GLASSES

Many sites will specialize in personalized wine glasses and custom wine glasses. The most basic way to personalize stemless wine glasses or stemmed wine glasses is through engraving. Amazon has some great deals on these simple yet elegant styles of glasses. They are artfully engraved and sturdy enough for everyday use.  Costing approximately $2.50 per glass, they can be used for smaller occasions as keepsake mementos. For a smaller and more formal personal collection, stemless wine glasses can be made a part of your stemware and easily engraved. More formal engraved stemware can be more costly, expect to spend as much as $10 a glass on stemware that is more fitting a special occasion. Finally, there are other options besides the glasses themselves to customize. One wonderful idea is the think of wine accessories. Here, you will see a decanter, that has been personalized as well as two glasses for a 3 piece set that would make a beautiful wedding gift.

Be sure to check out sites like etsy.com where handcrafted wine glasses are available. The idea to keep in mind though is that you want to be sure to evaluate the quality of the glass as well as the artistry of the piece. It is always good to find bargains, but there is no sense to investing in a beautiful personalized wine glass if it is only going to last a couple of months because of poor quality of construction.  Especially if you are considering a customized wine glass as a gift for a special occasion, spend a little more for better quality stemware. How many of us remember buying that $5 T-shirt when we were on vacation from a local pop up stand, only to have it disintegrate after 3 wash cycles? Here are some higher end choices that you can purchase first and then have the personalization added. This ensures the quality of the glass. Many artists who can create beautiful designs will offer their work on two or 3 standardized size glasses. When you select the glasses yourself, you can be more discerning about selecting the Pinot Noir glass over the Burgundy glass and this may matter if you plan on buying them as gifts for wine aficionados.
