Many years ago a very good South African friend broke the stem off his favourite wine glass so he turned a wooden one.
When I started selling my woodntured items I thought these would sell well.

The base is Ash and the stems are Mahogany
A set of lovely glasses there Alan. A nice marriage of timbers.

Lovely. Do the stems screw on or stick on and where can you get the glasses? Living in the middle of the Cahors wine region I can see a project using vine wood here

Hi Pierre the stems are glued on with a good quality epoxy glue, I buy the wine glasses from Dartington Glass, they are a good quality and have a stem thickness of 7mm which enables me to make thin stems, however you can use any glasses you like. Let me know how you get on.

Good morning Pierre
If you want to make this a project in your vineyard environment, the attached photos shows a wine glass holder
