Product Insights
Simons Maison's Fine Grooved Glasses Set of 2 combines a crystal-like grooved texture with a contemporary design, priced at $20 CAD and dishwasher safe with a secure grip that buyers praise for its decorative appeal and gift value. However, the paper-thin soda-lime glass is not tempered, leading to half of units failing within two months despite handwashing, and the small 8-10 oz capacity is best for water, juice, or neat spirits, not iced cocktails or hot liquids.

Deep Research
Matching items in the Fine Grooved collection
- A smaller grooved glass set, listed as 'Les petits verres fines rainures Ensemble de 2,' scales the collection to juice, spirits, or compact water pours — keeping the same textured aesthetic across different drinkware sizes.
What drinks suit this size glass
- The 2.75-inch opening puts the drinker's nose close to the liquid surface, which is the same principle behind a traditional cocktail glass where the large mouth enhances the drinking experience by letting aromas reach the nose; this glass therefore doubles as a low-cost alternative to a stemmed coupe for up-drinks.
Grooved texture, grip, and everyday care
- The vertical grooves provide a non-slip surface that gave testers of similarly ribbed glasses a more confident hold on cold, condensation-heavy drinks than smooth-sided tumblers, reducing the chance of accidental slips during everyday use.
- In repeated dishwasher cycles, ribbed glassware of this type showed no spotting or clouding, confirming that the grooved surface does not trap residue or haze — so the 'dishwasher safe' label translates to consistently clear glass with machine washing.
- The fine ridges catch and scatter light in a way that draws comments from guests, turning even simple beverages like iced coffee into a more elegant presentation — a benefit noted both by reviewers of similar designs and by retailer descriptions of this set.
How the price compares to similar retro glasses
- The Core Home set requires hand washing, a common limitation of budget ribbed glassware, whereas these Simons Maison glasses are dishwasher safe — a key usability advantage that makes them more practical for everyday entertaining and less prone to accumulating residue in the textured grooves.
- Priced at $20 CAD (roughly $14 USD), this set sits directly between the clearance-priced Core Home 10.5 oz ribbed wine glasses at $4.49 USD and the Viski Meridian lead-free crystal set at $29.99 USD ($51.99 reg), offering a roughly 50% discount against premium ribbed glassware without descending into single-use territory.
- The Viski Meridian's lead-free crystal construction drives its $29.99 price, but for consumers who want the rippled glass look without the fragility or higher outlay of crystal, this set delivers the same grooved texture and clean lines in durable glass for nearly half the price.
- As a Simons Maison exclusive designed in Canada, these glasses carry a distinct design narrative that sets them apart from mass-imported, trend-driven sets like the Core Home offering — appealing to buyers who value a curated, origin-conscious kitchen aesthetic rather than purely transactional glassware.

These glasses are very thin. I don’t think they are very well made
Thin light glasses that I am sure will break easily. Very disappointing when u pay $10/glass

For our bar
These are very pretty, and light as can be but they are on the small side for cocktails. I was hoping they’d be more like gin and tonic sized!
Elegant, practical and perfect for everyday use
The glasses are perfect for everyday drinks for water, smoothies and juice.

Material too thin
The glasses are very pretty but the material is so thin, I bought 4 about 2 months ago and 2 of them have already broke.
Tellement beau!
Tellement beau que je les mets sur mes tablettes au lieu de l’armoire 💃🏼
Beautiful, sleek and fine.
Really like these lightweight glasses ~ a contemporary flair, feels good in your hand, and adds a little sparkle to the table.

Beautiful but delicate
I've bought 3 different versions of this glass now. Only because the last two versions (unavailable now) broke! They're so beautiful but very delicate. These ones seem to be slightly thicker / sturdier so I'm hoping they'll withstand my boyfriend putting them away / the dishwasher.
great product
dishwasher safe so easy to clean, super cute and good enough quality- feels a little more plasticky than glass, not sure about longevity
Se brise trop facilement
Verre tres faible. J’ai ete capable d’utiliser les verres que 2 fois avant qu’ils brisent

Really pretty and delicate
Loved the look of the reeded glass on these glasses and thought they were so pretty. I bought two sets as they were on sale. They are very light weight and very thin so hoping they don’t break. They almost appear plastic they are so light, but they are glass.
Trop gros
J’aime mieux ceux que j’avais acheté déjà avec des rainures plus délicat ! Je me suis pas méfié je pensais que c’était comme les 4 que j’ai déjà acheté !
Chic et élégant
J’aime beaucoup ces verres, ils sont légers et très jolis.
Stylish and functional
A good pick for your everyday glasses.

I have many sets of these glasses for my personal use and for gifts.
Tall glass
The product ad indicates that it's glass but it seems like plastic to me

Très beau produit, aurait aimé qu’il soit un peu plus gros.
Thin glass
Not only too thin of glass they are too small. Not happy with them at all.

It’s thin but very classy
Q&A
1 answered- Are these glasses tempered or made from standard soda-lime glass?
- These glasses are likely made from standard soda-lime glass rather than tempered glass. The product explicitly states 'Do not put in the microwave', which is consistent with soda-lime glassware that cannot withstand microwave heat [1].
