I agree entirely with the IKEA recommendation. The Svalka comes in
both red and white glasses that cost around .50 per glass here in the
Northeast. ($3.00 for six). The IKEA website has them listed at 6
for $4.50. IMO, it's still a great value. The glasses hold 10 oz.

I've used these as my daily wine glasses for over 4 years and so far
only 2 glasses have been broken.

I'm not sure if there is an IKEA store near you in Texas, but it may be
worth a drive for you to stock up on the glasses.

They also have a glass that holds 19 oz, OPTIMAL, the cost for those is
around $2.00 each.

Here's the links to them on the IKEA website, with shortened URLs for
ease.
