Ideas for Personalized Wine Glasses

 

Everyone these days knows someone who loves wine, so why not give them the perfect gift of personalized wine glasses? Wine has seemingly become a “comfort” beverage for everyone from twenty-something’s to people enjoying their retirement years. That being said, wine gifts are becoming more and more popular. There are personalized wine glasses in all shapes, sizes, materials, and price ranges, so they will fit into anyone’s tastes as well as their budget.

 

Cheap Personalized Wine Glasses

 

Offering a personalized gift often gives the impression that it is quite costly, however, this is not always the case. There are many cheap personalized wine glasses offered by vendors these days. The more inexpensive custom wine glass may not have the sexy look of the higher end versions, or it may be made of clear plastic, but it is still quite functional. More importantly, it gives the receiver of the gift the impression that you care and took the time to select something specifically for them.

Cheap personalized wine glasses are also perfect for things such as weddings, birthday parties, or anniversary parties. However, instead of having the receivers name or initials engraved in them, these monogrammed wine glasses will show the date and name of the people for which the party is being held. Since it would cost a small fortune to put out 200 or more expensive wine glasses at one of these events, cheap personalized wine glasses still offer a touch of class without breaking the bank. You can buy these types of plastic wine glasses in bulk.

 

High Quality Personalized Wine Glasses for Your Home

If someone is using the glasses for their own home collection, they may want to spend a bit more money. If they entertain regularly and are worried about breakage, they may actually decide to purchase two different sets–one for company and one for personal usage. Since some of the high-quality personalized wine glasses are extremely expensive, this would seem to be the most prudent route to take.

Online vendors, such as Wine Enthusiast, offer quite a variety of engraved wine glasses from which to choose. For instance, consumers can find everything from high-end Riedel and Spiegelau glasses to less expensive non branded glasses. However, just about all of these glasses are available for customization. One particular set that is quite elegant is the Fusion Classic. The glasses have a classic shape, which allows the true flavors of the wine to unfold, and they are reasonably priced under $70 for a set of four.

 

Personalized Painted Wine Glasses

 

If there is one category of personalized wine glasses that can be found all over the price spectrum, the painted wine glasses category is it! The best feature of these glasses is that they literally fit into any personality type available. They can be lighthearted and fun, elegant, or they can carry a special personal message from the giver to the receiver. This style of glass can run anywhere from a few dollars to well over $25 per glass.

Sites such as Amazon have painted wine glasses at very reasonable prices. However, many of the painted wine glasses found in bulk are going to be very generic wine glasses, meaning one shape for all wines. These types of wine glasses can be fun for parties and such, but serious wine lovers may find them lacking in quality. Higher end painted wine glasses can be made, but this can be quite expensive.

 

Alternatives for Personalized Wine Glasses

 

For weddings and such, filling the entire room with personalized wine glasses may simply not be in the budget. If this is the case, personalized wine glass charms are a great alternative. Instead of paying upwards of $5 per glass, the charms can often be purchased in bulk for under $3 each! You would be able to use the glasses supplied by the catering hall and just attach the personalized wine glass charm to the stem. When guests leave, they take the charm with them and have a very nice keepsake from the event.

Personalized wine glasses make a great gift or party favor and as you can see, they come in all shapes and sizes. Before making a purchase, consider the event, the receiver, the purpose, and the budget. Taking all of these factors into consideration will give you a much better idea of the types of custom wine glasses for which you should be shopping. After all, if they are a gag gift, there is no need to spend $20 or more per glass. On the other hand, if the custom wine glasses are being given to a wine connoisseur, you will want to give them glasses which they will both appreciate and use.
