Not Sure Where to Start?

• The Engraved Beer Pilsner Glass is our most-searched pick for good reason: a heavy-bottom 16 oz pilsner with a sand-carved shield design that feels like a genuine keepsake, not a printed favor.
• The Big Initial Pint Glass is the easy, always-right choice when you just need one great glass fast, deeply carved with a bold monogram that reads from across the bar.
• The Monogram Whiskey Glass Set is the one to reach for when the gift needs to feel a little bigger, a matched set for the whiskey drinker who already has everything except this.

How to Choose the Right Glassware

For the beer enthusiast: reach for a tall pilsner that shows off the pour, like the Signature Stout Pilsner Beer Glass and the Engraved Beer Pilsner Glass.

For the whiskey or scotch drinker: a Glencairn shaped glass concentrates the aroma the way a rocks glass cannot, like the Etched Gold Glencairn Whiskey Glass and the Etched Green Glencairn Whiskey Glass.

For the wine drinker: a stemless silhouette is sturdier for everyday pours, like the Monogrammed Stemless Wine Glass and the Stolzle Crystal Red Wine Glass.

For a couple or newlyweds: a matched pair reads as a real keepsake rather than two separate gifts, like the Mr & Mrs Whiskey Glass Set and the Waterford Couples Crystal Wine Glass Set.

What is the difference between a pilsner glass and a pint glass? A pilsner glass is taller and tapers narrower at the base, built to hold a lager's carbonation and head. A pint glass has straighter sides and a wider mouth, making it the more casual, all-purpose choice for beer, cider or a cold soda.

What can you engrave on a personalized glass? Most of our glassware can be engraved with a name, initial, monogram, wedding date or short custom message. Simply type your text into the personalization box on the product page before adding it to your cart, and our team hand carves it to order.

Who Are You Shopping For?

The beer lover: start with a pilsner or pint glass from this collection, or browse our full Personalized Beer Gifts for mugs and growlers to match.

The whiskey or scotch drinker: a Glencairn or rocks glass makes the drink itself feel like the occasion, and our Rocks Glasses collection has more heavy-bottom options if you want a choice.

A couple celebrating something: a matched glass set is one of the few gifts that gets used on the actual wedding night, and our Gifts for Couples collection has more ideas beyond glassware.

The wine lover: a personalized stemless glass or crystal set feels special without being fussy, and pairs well with anything from our Wine Glasses and Decanters collection.

Dad: an engraved beer or whiskey glass is a Father's Day and birthday staple for a reason, and our Gifts for Dad collection is full of ways to round it out.

How do you clean and care for crystal glassware? Hand wash crystal glasses with warm water and mild soap rather than a dishwasher, since heat and harsh detergent can dull the clarity and weaken the engraving over time. Waterford's own crystal care guide recommends drying immediately with a soft, lint-free cloth to avoid water spots.

Are engraved beer and pint glasses dishwasher safe? Most of our sand-carved beer, pilsner and pint glasses are dishwasher safe on a standard or top-rack cycle, though hand washing will keep the etching looking sharp for longer. Crystal and Waterford pieces should always be hand washed.

Whatever you land on, every glass is personalized free and hand engraved in Monroe, Connecticut before shipping in 2 to 4 days, so it is ready well before the toast.
