I highly recommend Schott Zwiesel's crystal red wine glasses. Not only do they look incredibly elegant, they are made of Tritan (which is a titanium crystal) that makes them virtually unbreakable. Plus, they are dishwasher safe! These glasses are about as close to perfect as possible.

Notable features:
1. The glasses stand up to daily use and thousands of cycles in your dishwasher, without any blemishes or loss of brilliance.
2. Highly resistant to chipping and breaking even at its most sensitive areas - the rim and at the points where the stem joins the bowl and the foot.
3. Rigorous laboratory testing proves the brilliance, dishwasher safety, and break resistance of Tritan.

They come in a set of 6 for around $75.

You can both read reviews and buy them from the following sites:

Very good answer.

It is hard to know which answer is best for the asker because they didn't tell us enough about their needs. Do they want a great glass for $12 or a perfectly ok one for $2?

If I were looking, I think you'd have sold me on these.

I'm fond of the red wine glasses at Ikea. They're similar in shape to much more expensive brands, cost about $2 so I don't have to worry about breakage, and they have a nice feel. No complaints!
Other than that, I have a couple of those Reidel tumblers. They also have a good feel, are enjoyed by guests, and aren't terribly expensive if you buy them in the "tubes" on sale - about $5 per. 
Anything more expensive than that isn't used around here. Big dogs, small house, you get the idea.

For fear of  sounding like a wine connoisseur myself , i have always wanted to know the answer to which  wine glasses to use and when to use ,plus how to take care of your wine glasses i.e proper washing so that you dont leave that slight hint of soap on them that can ruin your wine, So I went hunting and the following is what I gathered from the net.So far the word that is on everyones lips is Riedel Wine Glasses their glasses have a hint of the high end ,but they have been produced for the mass market,these tumblers seem to enjoy a solid reputation.. I have included  two sites that deal exclusively with proper wine glasses and their care and last but not least an online store where you can order and purchase them. Hope you find the links helpful

My friends in Italy use iced tea glasses or juice glasses, as do just about everyone else they know there, for everyday use. For parties they do have nicer stemware, but when you live in the midst of vineyards, it's wise to have something that is a little bit less tip-able. Especially when you have kids, dogs, and/or cats. And especially if you eat outside a lot..

I love polycarbonate glass ware. It's unbreakable, topdishwasher safe and yet still looks like glass. Very durable for every day use!! I actually have some and they are great!!

The best wine glasses are ones that are both dishwasher safe and will not break. Sometimes the best glasses are not made out of glass, yet instead plastic and inexpensive. They even look like fancy glasses, yet the good part is that they will not break if dropped. Check out the Cafe Classics below.
