Not my bottle but I witnessed a double mag of 1978 Aldo Conterno Granbussia break while being unloaded. Can’t be that many of these left in the world, no?

I learned not to wring the necks early in life when polishing.

Pulled a double whammy last week. Left the restaurant with my wine bag in one hand and my wine glass bag in the other. I reached across to put the glass carrier in my left hand so I could grab my keys from my pocket and dropped the glasses on the sidewalk. Both stems broke off at the bowl.
Pro tip: The Grassl wine glass carrier is not shockproof.

Did the same thing yo my Gabriel glas the first time I cleaned it!

No evidence Jeff was cleaning/polishing the glass. Nonetheless, Aldo Sohm has a video on cleaning/polishing glasses. Otherwise, you can drop some $ on a polishing machine.
The bowl and the base are treatied like two separate components doing it by hand.
I was drying it. I usually break the upper glass when I’ve broken glasses cleaning them. I don’t even think I exerted pressure on this but it clean snapped. Luckily it didn’t leave a big mess.
I always wash my nice wine glasses by hand. And I generally hold (gently, but firm) the bowl of the glass as I clean it. Haven’t broken one yet (35+ years), but now that I’ve said that out loud I no doubt will break one this weekend . . . . 
I have no clue how that’s even possible, the number of glasses that I have broken. That way, I can’t count that high.

I had this thermal one for years now. Hard to break and keeps the coffee warm. Big enough to pour 6-8 cups. Called Eva Solo Nordic, don’t know if it is available in the US.

That looks cool! I’d figure out a way to break the wood handle!

Many years ago some friends and I all purchased Lexan coffee presses for our numerous car-camping excursions with our families/kids. They were advertised as “unbreakable.” Of course, most all of us managed to break some component of them.
