Just curious.......and thanks for any replies.

A little bump, which would mean nothing on formica, shatters glassware. All of our glassware is Riedel. Don't know what it costs, not all that much. If we broke glasses by the dozen, it would be a different matter.

Well, sure enough, walking out to the car, my Riedel bag (mistakenly left unzipped) popped open and deposited 2 Riedel Bordeaux stems on my garage floor, which naturally broke into thousands of pieces. So, I guess perhaps I should never have opened the thread at all!
