No stem. I find them to be a hazard. I have knocked over a few glasses in my time. So glasses with stems scare me lol. They do set a certain tone though and do present a certain sophistication however, I prefer and do enjoy drinking from a glass that I can hold in my palm. Sounds weird, but I feel connected to my drink. Like, when having a hot drink, I prefer to hold the body of the mug instead of the handle. It feels more intimate.
I love the idea of adding video content, and can already imagine clips from casual conversations with your community. Wondering if this might be a great way to cross-pollinate career disciplines? For instance, you tell a friend/colleague about something you're thinking about (a problem or topic you find yourself mulling over constantly) and get curious about how this topic manifests in their discipline and what they do about it.
I've had fascinating conversations with painters, comedians, ranchers, teachers during which I realize that the issues I think are siloed to my profession actually manifest in many professions. AND so often, I find that the ways these other professionals have problem solved are super creative and interesting and surprise! I can use them in my own work.
The wine glass issue boils down to a perfect intersection (storm!) of user experience meets your vision meets the logistical needs of the restaurant. Writers rub up against this same cross walk, right? Reader meets writer's vision meets storytelling rules.
You have such a wide breadth of top rung industry professional friends, it would be fascinating to bring in some unexpected perspectives on your issues. SB
Wow, thank you for your thoughtful comment! I love how you connected my founder experience to the writer experience. That really resonates with me. I actually write about that a bit in my book Sweet Success - I write about Elizabeth Gilbert’s idea from Big Magic that you have to seize an idea or the idea will find someone else.
Love this level of customer engagement in the wine glass comment section! And I would love to hear some video interviews with other women-led food brands / food entrepreneurs. I'm particularly interested in topics around slow/steady growth and building systems that help prevent burnout. Cheers!

Whatever the story maybe. The glasses need an uplift for sure. You can still have stem less pretty ones
Thanks for weighing in. We are definitely hearing this - that even a rounded bottom stemless would be an upgrade.
Team Stemless!!
love it! thank you!!
