Why Fluted Drinkware Is the Key to a Successful Gathering

Fluted (or ribbed) drinkware is ideal when hosting for numerous reasons—and we think they're pretty convincing.

1. Classic design: With a simple stripe-like pattern engraved into the glass, fluted pieces add warmth and an ambience that elevates any table, no matter the color scheme or occasion.
2. Forgiving against fingerprints: Since the glass is textured, imperfections, such as fingerprints and water spots, are also hidden.
3. Mingle without mishaps: Another benefit of this grooved design is that you can socialize without errors. Its grooves provide guests with a stronger grip and a more stable drink, equating to stress-free sipping.

Fluted Drinkware for Any Occasion

Sure, it's fun to shop, but replacing your drinkware also has a purpose. Take this opportunity to swap out those pieces that hold more grit and grime than you might expect. Luckily, from lemonade to a lemon drop martini, there's a fluted glass that meets nearly any drinkware need you may happen upon this summer.
