I drink out of a glass used at times by joe from whisky Wednesday but today found a glencairn glass for 40p, they put wax into it to make a candle, unused I will add so got it home to warm the wax down and boom all washed and ready for tonight, 40p hahaha bargain me thinks.

Glencairn glasses in Canada go for about $10.00 each, not cheap at all.

I find 10.00 for a crystal Glencarin glass to be more than fair. I have 6 to go along with 2 Macallan Copita glasses.

I find the Glencarin style to be a tad awkward , Too small for my hands
& the opening a bit narrow

the best one I've found so far is a $ 4.00 clone of Libbey's 7 oz. Spirits Glass
