These are really easy to hold as they feel great in your hands.  Also great for sipping as I have had some wine glasses that don't fit your mouth right and drip when you take a sip and these ones are just perfect.  Also, I dropped one of them and it didn't break.  I am not recommending that at all because I am sure the next time it will break, but the point is that they aren't overly fragile like some wine glasses.
