Being a grown-up means something quite different than we all thought it would when we were young. Instead of staying up late, eating chocolate for every meal and spending our salaries on designer bags, it turns out we actually can’t wait to get to sleep, consistently worry about getting our 5 a day and our hard-earned cash actually goes towards really grown-up items like cookware sets. And TBH, we’re actually quite happy about it.
The past year has converted even the most social of butterflies into homebodies – sure we’re all itching for a pint in a pub garden come April 12, but we’ve also learnt to appreciate our homes – and everything in it – a lot more. From the big buys we’ve made over the past year – like a new rug – to the smaller (but no less meaningful) purchases such as stylish dinnerware sets and coffee mugs, our homewares across the board have had a major glow-up this year. And if your homeware upgrade hasn't yet extended to new drinking glasses, you're in for a treat.
Whether you’re in the market for drinking glasses for a celebratory glass of Prosecco or a G&T or rather to trial your latest green juice concoction direct from your juicer, everything just tastes better out of a good-looking glass. So we scoured our favourite home retailers – from John Lewis (where you can save using our John Lewis discount codes), to Oliver Bonas (use our Oliver Bonas discount codes to save on your next purchase) and Graham & Green to find the best glassware to elevate your next tipple, or glass of H2O.

For that perfect glass of bubbly might we point you in the direction of these colourful champagne flutes from Anthropologie? Whether you like you martini shaken, or stirred, we love these ribbed martini glasses finished with gold rims and these Tom Dixon tumblers are perfect for swirling your whiskey in - although we won't tell if you use them for cocktails too.
These stylish stemless wineglasses or these classic crystal glasses from The White Company, will all make that velvety red go down even better and our glassware edit even includes the most stylish tumblers - like these blue etched design ones - so even your morning OJ will suddenly taste a whole lot fresher.
