What Do You Think?

For labor day, I'm having a bunch of neighbors (about 35-40) over for a pool party/block party. This year I thought I'd do a blind wine tasting contest with 8 wines (4 white/4 red) just for fun.

I've found some stemless wine glasses at a very good price, which I think is a good solution being as we are all hanging out around a pool and lots of kids. Broken glass would be an issue and stemware is so fragile.

I just know that a couple of my foodie friends will scoff at the stemless glasses. I say it's OK but they will say that stemware is de rigueur for wine tastings.

I think the fun is the key.... What do you'all say? Would you be put off tasting from a stemless glass (not the expensive ones, that is) at a casual Labor Day neighborhood party?
