In their “Best Drinking Glasses” guide, The Spruce Eats evaluates dozens of drinkware options across categories like design, durability, ease of cleaning, and versatility. One noteworthy mention is the Duralex Picardie tumblers, which earn the spot of “Best Stackable” glasses. The Spruce Eats
Here’s what the article highlights:
- Stackable & space-friendly design: Because of their tapered shape, Picardie tumblers nest inside each other cleanly. Perfect for kitchens with limited storage. The Spruce Eats
- Durability under pressure: The authors recount dropping a Picardie tumbler onto concrete—and finding it still intact with no chips or scratches. That kind of resilience sets it apart. The Spruce Eats
- Comfort and grip: The facet design gives the glass a distinctive look and makes it easier to hold. Even with condensation, the ridged texture enhances grip. The Spruce Eats
- Dishwasher safe: The article acknowledges a slight drawback—some difficulty reaching into the base when hand-washing—but underscores that in a dishwasher it’s no concern. The Spruce Eats
- Timeless aesthetic: The classic fluted look fits in both casual and elevated settings. Because of its design versatility, the article views Picardie tumblers as a strong all-purpose pick. The Spruce Eats
Beyond Picardie, the guide also reviews other notable sets: Libbey Polaris as “Best Overall,” Riedel’s cocktail glasses, Bormioli Rocco mini tumblers, and a few design-forward options. The Spruce Eats
The takeaway: The Spruce Eats piece doesn’t just include Duralex—it validates what people love about it. The Picardie tumbler is praised for combining practicality (stacking, dishwasher safety) with durability and versatility, making it a compelling pick for everyday use and for those who want reliable, stylish glassware.
