I don't drink much wine. And when I do, I do not want a wine glass with a big ole' stem on it. I much prefer a nice tumbler, a tumbler does not tip over easily, and is still a good glass. No stems please!

There are stemless wine glasses. You can even get them at Dollar Tree.
They do work better than a typical water tumbler in that you get the
aromatics better and yes, it does make a difference with a good wine,
not so much with the stuff in boxes.

One disadvantage, if you are at a party and hold the glass it will warm
faster than holding by a stem. At a table, no big deal.

Some wine snobs have different size and shaped glasses for each type of
wine, Burgundy, Cabernet, etc. I certainly can't tell the difference.

Why not save yourself the trouble and drink straight from the bottle!

Like a Wino. I never saw a Bowery Wino drinking from a wine glass.
They all swig their muscatel from a pint bottle, wrapped in a brown
paper bag so no one can tell they are drinking wine... not that one
can't recognize the aroma from 30 paces.

Boy you brought back a memory. Our family went to NYC back in the late sixties. I had never seen people sleeping on the street. Until we had a bus tour which took us into the Bowery. The tour guide said that they would heat up shoe polish, strain it and drink it.

Or the OP could just buy stemless wine glasses. Yes, they make such a
thing.
