I got 2 wine glasses engraved and I want to take them overseas with me and really worry about them breaking in my luggage so I was wondering if any one knows if it is ok to put them in your carry on luggage?
I checked and cannot find this information anywhere but I just don’t want to get to the airport and get asked to throw them away because they are not allow.

You have heard somewhere or read somewhere that wine must be served in the best crystal to get its full advantage, well not necessarily but there are a few basic principles to remember when choosing glasses that will help you get the best from your favorite bottle.

It is true however that the appearance, smell and even the taste can be enhanced by using the proper glasses. The oldest surviving wine glass with a stem and foot are 15th century enameled goblets that holds more than four ounces of liquid. Towards the end of the 16th century in Germany, wine glasses are sophistically engraved as decoration . Meanwhile The earliest surviving English wine glasses that were produced near the end of the 16th century were made by Verzelini, there were diamond engraved. Around the 1740s plain straight stems and air twist stems gained popularity . France introduced fine crystal glasses towards the end of the 18th century.

Wine glasses during the 19th century were often produced in sets of a dozen each, each set for port and sherry, burgundy and claret, champagne glasses and liqueur glasses. In the 1950s, Riedel Crystal and other manufacturers have refined the design of wine glasses with unique size and shape for almost every wine variation.

When choosing glasses, always remember to first choose a plain glass to set off your best wines, stay away from colored or even those that have tinted stems or bases. The effect of light on the wine, specifically the legs and tears on the inner wall when you swirl the wine and the way aromas are captured within the wine glass and finally presented to your nose while drinking are one of the most important things to consider when choosing wine glasses. Glasses with a wide bowl that tapers toward the mouth will allow the aroma of the wine to be released generously. This is because the deeper bowls allow more room for swirling and the narrow opening channels the aroma to your nostrils efficiently. A big flared opening will disperse the aroma rather quicker.

Red wines are traditionally served in bigger glasses than white wine, this is because red wines needs more space to breathe and develop, remember, a wine glass can never be too big. Sparkling wines should be served in think glasses with straight side or flutes so that the fizz is preserved.
Realizing the plight of budget restricted consumers, the California Wine Institute has developed an all purpose wine glass. It is five and one half inches tall with a one and three quarter inch stem. Its clear, tulip shaped bowl holds a capacity of up to eight ounces.

Setting of wine glasses at a dinner party should also be taken into consideration when serving different types of wine throughout each course. The glasses should be arranged in the order they are to be used and right to left. Typically wine is poured from the right, while food is served from the left. You might want to begin with tall stemmed glass for whites followed by a large wine goblet for reds and ending with short smaller glass for port or sherry. Finally remember that you need to leave room to capture the aroma as it rises from the swirled wine and allowing room for it to be tilted to evaluate the color of the wine, therefore it’s best to fill the wine glass at one third to one half full at the most.

There is no better way of serving wine than using some exquisite and refined wine glasses; think of the way the light reflects in the clarity of a quality beverage, imagine the soft elegance of a stemmed glass half-filled with ruby-red liquor: the truth is that we could actually find an artistic expression in wine serving and wine tasting. As a matter of fact, the very production of wine glasses is as old as the fifteenth century when the heavy metal cups were replaced by more delicate glass vessels. As glass craftsmanship reached higher grounds, the complexity of the wine glasses increased significantly, and engravings, etchings and decorations soon became possible.

Using the right wine glasses according to the etiquette is essential at any formal or informal dinner: the size, the color and the shape of the glassware is influenced by the nature of the liquor you intend to serve. The rules that set the grounds for the choice of wine glasses are definitely unwritten, but they are common practice in society, at receptions, restaurants, dinner halls and so on. Therefore, a red wine will be well served in larger rounded wine glasses, preferably with a high stem, whereas white wine looks well in slender wine glasses.

As curious as it may seem to an amateur, not only the color, but the aroma as such is captured differently in various wine glasses. If you place the same wine in two vessels of distinct shapes, there will be a slight distinction in the aroma; yet, noticing such differences is usually the merit of true wine connoisseurs. Another criterion for choosing wine glasses is the time of the day when you intend to serve the liquor: a rich dinner should always be accompanied by a large glass of wine, whereas a short sip of beverage before the meal will necessarily be served in a small-sized model.

It is often the custom to have several types of wine glasses arranged on the table, so that each dish may be accompanied by the proper beverage. Nevertheless, you’ll only find this arrangement with wedding parties and especially very official dinners. More wine glasses send a distinct and clear message: the meal is to be enjoyed for several hours, there are plenty of courses and the entire dinner is to be cherished in its diversity. All in all, it is somehow obvious how enjoyable wine glasses could make an otherwise daily routine.
