While some believe a good selection of alcohol is what makes a home bar successful (they're not wrong), a varied collection of glassware is the secret to a truly accomplished drinking station that both serves and entices.
The ultimate host offers glassware for every type of drink. Whether it's a handful of champagne coupes for a celebration or a reliable set of whiskey glasses for game night, a home bar needs glassware in many forms.
While I've long known glassware is the key to a good drinks corner, Stanley Tucci's timeless home bar has made me want to invest in only the best vessels. Featuring an impressive collection of tumblers, coupes, and wine glasses, Stanley's collection couldn't be more luxurious.
