How to Drink Wine Like the Italians.
Wines from the Italian region of Veneto are perfect "everyday" wines to accompany meals. They are like an old marriage: comfortable, agreeable, and without pretense. Bàcaro is a Venetian word for a humble tavern serving simple food and young, inexpensive local wines in delightfully charming and informal glasses that capture a nonchalance the Italians call "sprezzatura." The clever simplicity of these rustic wine glasses personifies that attitude, and mild imperfections should be considered part of the unique characteristics of these artisan glasses.
Introducing to the American table a set of four 5 1/2-ounce stemless wine glasses that prioritize function over form, without pretentious flourishes. There is also something tactile and comforting, a satisfying degree of purpose about these small peasant glasses, just right with humble food shared in a casual setting, and easier to store and travel. Offered in a Gift Box Set of 4, for keeping or giving.

Premium Gift Box Set of 4 authentic Italian Stemless Wine Glasses, inspired by the culture of Venice and throughout the Veneto region, where small tumblers of everyday wines are shared in Venetian taverns called “bacaros.”
PLEASE NOTE These glasses are 'Piccolo' or Italian for 'small." The size of glassware is closely tied to drinking habits and cultural practices. Serving wine in small tumblers is one of Italy’s oldest expressions. Italians call this the “art of drinking well without drinking too much.”
Dimensions for optimum functionality : Top 2 1/4-inches; Bottom 2-inches; Height: 3 1/2-inches; Capacity 5 1/2-ounces; proven dishwasher-safe
Rustic, tempered, artisan glassware with thick bottoms, durable, economical, multipurpose, and utilitarian; easy to cradle; minimalist take on the wine glass, more fitting than delicate stemware; chip-resistant rim makes each glass durable for long lasting use

Title: Simple and beautiful as well as functional
Review: The packaging is the the first thing I noticed. It's set up to be a wonderful gift in its old school box and included history and explanation. The glasses feel so good in my hand. They are great for many uses. It's a perfect glass to sip wine from. It's the right size for juice and is sturdy enough for hot tea. They feel light but substantial at the same time. I love the way they look. You can feel the quality and craftsmanship.

Title: Down home stuff
Review: Well made, right sized, hard to break and not for snobs. In Italian it is "Sprezzatura." Translates as low-key, nonchalant, easy-going or effortless.

Title: My wife calls them juice glasses
Review: Yes I get made fun of for drinking wine out of these glasses but I like them for many reasons. First saw these in The God Father and thought they were interesting. Like I said I get a lot of flack drinking wine “out of a juice glass”. These are very durable and do not break on a whim like long stem wine glasses. They are really comfortable in the hand. And after a night of drinking wine I can put these right in the dishwasher with no worries. These are the perfect Irish mans wine glasses. Cheers!!

Title: It's all in the packaging, the nostalgia ...
Review: First off, I love these little wine glasses and I will use them for years. This is the way I prefer to drink wine. I love the way the History Company packaged the glasses, super protected with Styrofoam bubbles, and added cards on Italian wine history. Honestly, this was sweet and the presentation was lovingly created. For that reason, I really don't care that these are actually Libbey Heavy Base Juice Glasses you can buy elsewhere for about half the price. Those are juice glasses. Boring. These are Italian Bàcaro wine glasses! Romantic and nostalgic. Worth the price for the packaging and the experience.

Title: Stemless italian wine glasses
Review: I was looking for wine glasses that were less formal. These 6.5 oz. Glasses are perfect and you don’t go knocking them over like long stem glasses. Great for both wine & beer.
