Long-stemmed glasses on a game table are just asking for trouble: one flourish from the dealer or misdirected pass of the box of questions, and you can have a serious spill on your hands. An increasing variety of wine and cocktail glasses can now be found without stems, which will help avoid spillage. I sometimes even serve wine in sleek little tumblers for a safe, unfussy option.
