First Higher End Glasses - Help!

I’ve always been a fairly casual wine drinker, can appreciate a nicer bottle but usually stuck around the $20-$30 range for at-home consumption.

I’ve started getting more into the hobby recently and want to get some proper stemware, looking for guidance! I’m planning to get 4-6 glasses.

In terms of use, I’d say probably 80-85% of wine drank in my home is in the medium to full-bodied red category, but we occasionally break out a sparkling, champagne or Pinot Grigio/chardonnay. Rosé fairly often in summer.

Based on the above, I’m looking for a glass that will work as a universal, but if there’s something that is going to perform noticeably better with reds while still doing a good enough job with everything else I’d probably lean that way.

Looking at the following options:

  • Gabriel Glas StandArt
  • Glasvin Universal
  • Spiegelau Definition Universal
  • Spiegelau Definition Bordeaux
