Which of the Villeroy & Boch glasses would you recommend for everyday wine drinking, and which of them are meant for more solemn occasions? Is there a difference in the individual lines?

For everyday use we recommend the Allegorie series. There are basic and simple glasses, but very good for wine, with a lower price. For solemn occasions we offer delicate collections, such as Torino, Lilian, Cascara, and the new Arden Lane, carved from a single piece of crystal (not even a bowl is glued to its foot), or handmade, more flexible, with a better sound, and they are plain, or slightly decorated. Some customers prefer decorated glasses, such as Miss Desirre and Bernadotte, for more solemn occasions. As part of the most collections we offer, together with many types of glasses for various wines, also decanters and jugs, as well as water goblets, liqueur glasses, etc.
