Whiskey, Wine, Water Or Vodka: Glass Sets To Get For Your Next Party

Pretend to be fancy all you like, but when it comes to glasses—for water, juice, whiskey or wine, Borosil wins the top spot. Not only do they make beautiful glasses, but when they cost around INR 500 for six, it’s a real steal. Sure they’re not the most durable, but they do serve the purpose. 

Price: Starting at INR 360

Come on, we all know there are designated water tumblers in each house for everyday use. We suggest upping them a notch with these long water glasses that are ideal if you are looking for a hint of style, thanks to the capsule design. Another option is this set of 6 for only INR 499 on discount. 

You have to show off a little bit when guests come over. And no better set than this lovely beaten glass set from FabIndia. The brand is tried and tested and we all can agree how aesthetic these look. However, if you'd like to go with something transparent, these embossed glasses from Nestasia are also a steal.

When it comes to whiskey and gin, you need a low-ball or a high-ball glass. Either way, tall or short, it needs to be heavier on the bottom. For something solid, and less likely to chip at one heavy clunk, get these ones from Home Struck. Or similar, from the same brand, are these more abstract ones. What is great about both sets is that they’re INR 2,000, but also, they’re versatile enough. So really, serve juice, water, vodka or gin in them, and you’re still going to be a great host! 

Yes, we know your local market, Amazon and Lifestyle have great wine glasses. But do they have these lovely green, blue or red ones? I bet not! These ones look delicate but we’ve had our fair share of wine from them, and they are quite sturdy and strong. The stems are luckily not too dainty either. 

When it comes to adding colour to a table, and you don’t want coloured plates and bowls, glasses are the answer. The Decor Mart has a bunch of fancy options. Be warned, though; they might be a little tricky to wash because of the shape.

Be it for water, wine, spirits or cocktails, here our pick of a few super fun glasses to drink from and really take the party to a whole new level!

Mango Wood Mug: Beer drinkers, this set is for you, and it costs INR 2,499 for two. Sustainability for the win!

Horn Beer Mug: Drink, but make it a Viking party with this pair of horn-shaped beer mugs .

Tail Cocktail Glass: The Artment takes things up a notch with super funky cocktail glasses. Including the tail cocktail glass.

Octopus Cocktail Glass: Don’t ask why, just get it, and make it a conversation starter!

Anything from Ek Do Dhai is also highly recommended when it comes to pop culture, Bollywood and making a statement!

Now for someone looking to set up their entire bar, with tried-and-tested sets of glasses, Good Homes is our top pick. Whiskey, wine, vodka, water, juice. Plain, textured, cut, coloured. Tall, short, wide, narrow. They genuinely have it all. You can get sets of two, four, six and even seven for some. Priced decently between INR 500 for a set of six plain ones to more textured glasses, in a set of seven for INR 1,764, these are really a bang for their buck. 

Wine glasses have evolved from the usual boring, transparent ones to being a bit different in terms of size, colour and sometimes even shape. Like these ones from Nicobar that are small enough to sit on a compact apartment table, but large enough (at 320ml) to make you feel cool when your swirl the wine about, even though you have no clue what you're actually drinking. The glasses are available in tints of mint and rosy red, so bring out the cheese and have a little vino party. At INR 4,200 for four, these are great gifts to give and get, especially for folks who want a little bit of colour in their bar cabinet. 

Of course you can show off your quirk in many different ways, but throw in a snazzy hand-printed set of glasses, and you are right on the top step of the podium. We can think of no better folks than Taproom Glasses for this. They have lovely silhouettes on rocks glass, old fashioned glass or simple whiskey glasses to ensure you can use the glasses as decor and to drink from. They retail on LBB, and you can find prints of cities—including Paris, Sydney, Rome, London, New York and New Delhi too. What we really love is that each glass is manually press-printed, so every piece is different than the other. Told you it's unique! We got a sneak peek into the Bangalore ones too and we love it! Apple juice or whiskey look especially good in these sets, especially for the Gram! We also think these make for great gifts, no?
