Choosing drinking glasses is about more than comparing a shape or colour. Between claims of durability, stated capacities and finishes labelled ‘crystal’, a few details can turn an attractive purchase into impractical glassware for everyday use.
Before ordering a set of glasses, three potential pitfalls deserve your attention:
For a versatile table setting, water glasses with a capacity of 30 to 40 cl are a practical choice for water, juices, fizzy drinks and some cocktails. Sold in a set of six, the Björn Tumbler 33 cl falls into this category. It measures 10 cm high and 6.5 cm in diameter at the rim.
Stemmed wine glasses should be chosen according to how they will be used:
A larger bowl does not mean that you need to fill it more. However, it will take up more space in a cupboard as well as on the table. For a restaurant or reception, also consider the stability of the stem and how easy the glasses are to store.
Classic clear glass is suitable for most meals. Lead-free crystal models, such as the Björn STEN, LAGOM, LINJE and SVÄVA collections featured here, are described as offering excellent clarity and a glossy finish. This is a characteristic of the material and manufacturing process, not a guarantee against every type of impact.
Borosilicate glassware is often chosen for both hot and cold drinks. Its advantage lies in a design that allows it to withstand temperature changes better than some ordinary glasses. However, it can still break: avoid pouring boiling liquid into a very cold glass, or placing a hot glass straight onto a cold, wet surface.
Double-wall glasses create an insulating layer between the two walls. They reduce condensation on the outside when serving cold drinks and make the surface more comfortable to hold with a hot drink. However, this structure calls for a little extra care, particularly around the silicone valve found on some models.
A product described as dishwasher-safe makes life easier, especially in a large family, café or catering establishment. Even so, check the manufacturer’s recommendations:
A double-wall glass may be suitable for the dishwasher, oven or microwave according to its product details, but these uses should not be assumed to apply to all tableware.
Why this choice suits this profile : This set of six water glasses covers the everyday needs of a household. With a capacity of 33 cl, they are suitable for water, juices and cold drinks.

We have put together a complete, real-time updated list of products that fully meet these strict selection criteria and European safety regulations.
For everyday meals, pair water glasses of 30 to 40 cl with a few 32 or 36 cl stemmed glasses. For a table focused on red wine, 47 to 60 cl models offer a more generous bowl. Whisky glasses and straight-sided tumblers are also practical for serving spirits, juices and soft drinks.
Cocktail glasses should be chosen according to the recipe and serving size. For beer, check the usable capacity, the stability of the stem or base, and how easy the glass is to clean. A versatile glass may suit several drinks, but a purpose-designed shape will make the biggest difference to presentation.
No. Check the details for each product. Even when a product is described as dishwasher-safe, a gentle programme and stable positioning reduce the risk of impact. Decorated or particularly delicate glasses may need to be washed by hand.
A capacity of 30 to 40 cl is generally suitable for water, juices and fizzy drinks served with meals. Formats of 45 cl and above are better suited to large drinks, cocktails or double-wall glasses designed for coffee and desserts.
Avoid sudden temperature changes, do not overload the dishwasher and do not stack glasses inside one another unless they are designed for this. Regularly inspect the rims and bases and remove any chipped pieces.
