| Count | Upside | Downside | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| A pair (2) | Cheap; minimal storage | One break and you can't serve guests | Couples who open a bottle a few times a year |
| Six | Covers a dinner party of four with two spares | Stemware needs shelf space | Anyone who hosts |
| Twelve | Covers a full party | Bulky to store; rarely all in use | Frequent large gatherings |
| Disposable plastic flutes | No washing, no breakage | Feels cheap for a celebration | Outdoor and poolside parties |
