Reply to comment by acrane55 in I realize it can never really be BIFL, but does anyone have a good recommendation for a dishwasher? by chasonreddit

yep, that's pretty much how it happens for me. My wife likes some very thin glassware. Yes I should hand wash it, but often we have parties and someone else is loading the dishwasher.

Ridel glassware is not BIFL. We have had good luck with the cheap wine glasses from IKEA. Bought a truck load of them for our wedding 16 years ago and I’m not sure I remember seeing any of the break. And the were ~$1 each.

I hear you brother. I used to buy wine glasses by the dozen because I'm a clutz. The Ridel were a christmas gift from a co-worker. The wife is also into Waterford which is much sturdier but I would be dead if I put it in a dishwasher.
