They used to have these really nice, thin walled, short stem wine glasses at Dollar Tree. They're plain glass, but they have a nice bowl and are great for light reds and whites.

Reef related? What else am I going to drink wine from when looking at/working on the tank? Also, superglue is a great find there and I'll probably have to stop in to find some odds and ends that may help me along the way.
