Sipping out of your favorite wine glasses is all fun and games until it's time to break out the broom.

(Fun fact: each of these iridescent MONTI-IRI glasses was designed to carry its own specific type of beer.)

All good things come in threes, or fours, or even by the dozen. Buying your glassware in bulk is an overall savvy investment — more often than not you're scoring a deal on great drinkware, restoring order to your glassware cabinet, and stocking up on backups for any future snafus.
