Absolutely get footed for both wine and water. The wine goblet can be larger than the water goblet. Buying in sets is smart and saves $$$$! We have all sorts of wine glasses-from the finest Riedel to big boxes of glasses used for parties and large holiday gatherings. We often use our fine crystal for the water, but rarely use the crystal wine goblets. They are too small for most wines. The only "rules" I follow are: The water goblet is placed above the knife The wine glass(es) are to the right of the goblet Check out Amazon, BB&B, Target, etc. for boxes of "party" wine glasses-meaning versatile and can be used for both red and white wines. Keep in simple!

Ive read a lot of reviews and i've decided to stick with the govino for a few reasons.. 1. he'll be using them on an ocean boat (vs still water) so I like the extra grip of the thumb hold. 2. The biggest complaints I read were that they are very thin and feel like a solo cup.. and that they melt in a dishwasher. Since these will be used ON a boat, I don't think either is a big issue. 3. The price is low enough that if they are a bust, so be it 4. They are adaptable for both wine and cocktails.. in fact, I use my glass ones for water, iced tea, etc. Even the much higher priced shatterproof glasses have reviewers complaining about scratches, clouding, how they feel on the mouth.. but many of them were using them in the house.. or in the backyard.. where glass is an option. I think these will be fine for poolside and/or on a boat. I nixed the silicone as soon as I saw a reviewer mention a slight silicone smell/taste. Thanks everyone!

In my opinion, the base of the shade is too narrow in diameter. If you want it more streamlined, I would avoid the scalloped edging and go for a more tailored shade. I would probably have the shade a couple of inches longer as well. I would use a style similar to the one at this link (no pleats, ruffles, etc) except I would get one that is plain rather than embellished with embroidery and make sure the color works with your lamp).shade style example

@Ron Natalie: "Rightfully so. Kitchenaid only sold the rebranded FP drawers which were maintenance nightmares (in addition to the fact that despite the neato factor, are a pain in the butt even when they work)." That is not correct. The first generation KA drawer units introduced circa 2004, KUDD01 models, were rebadged F&P. Second generation KA units, KUDD03 models (there was no KUDD02) were not sourced from F&P. They were a completely different design Whirlpool got with the purchase of Maytag in 2006. F&P did not produce them. Fulgor was involved in the manufacture if I recall correctly. KUDD01 service manual is document KAD-9 "Drawer Dishwasher" in Whirlpool's tech library. KUDD03 service manual is document KAD-10 "2008 Drawer Dishwasher." Try searching for those documents, and also search for parts diagrams, to see the differences in the design vs. F&P. It doesn't use the SmartDrive motor, has separate electric circulate and drain pumps. Has a turbidity sensor for a soil-sensing function (F&P does not). Has a whirly-gig manifold mounted on the back of the tub that sprays forward over the dishware, fed by a hose routed on the exterior from the circulation pump. A formed heating element similar to a frontload washer vs. F&P's flat/disc ceramic element. Among other differences This other design was also sold under the Kenmore Elite brand (both single- and double-drawer models), check parts diagrams for models 465.13333, 465.13339, 465.13342, 465.13343, 465.13349, 465.13322, 465.13323, 465.13329. 465 is Sears manufacture code for Maytag/Jenn Air sourcing
