Gin Glass?

Wyldwood

I'm sure the connoisseurs on here will be able to answer this question for me. As a family we do Secret Santa every year and give a choice of three gifts we would like. My Secret Santa has asked for a good gin glass as one choice. What's a gin glass? I suspect it's a large tumbler but Google is throwing up a stemmed glass. Any suggestions on where to buy?

It's a Copa de Balon glass.

I'm unsure of your budget but you can get them in plenty of places now from Dunnes Stores, Arnotts and even Euro shops. I saw a nice set in Newbridge Silverware yesterday too.

For €15 you can get a pair of Galway crystal ones in a few places, Arnotts, Debenhams

Thinly veiled I was given a bottle of Caorunn post, plenty of very different glasses used here https://www.caorunngin.com/gin-cocktails/

Homestore and more have 2 reduced to 9.99 at the mo if there's one near you! Pretty plain but would do the job!
