What's a reasonable budget for a starter set of good wine glasses?

Across the reviewers we read, $25–$60 for a set of four is the sweet spot most commonly recommended for everyday use, with hand-blown crystal sets like JoyJolt Layla cited as strong value. Enthusiasts who want "special occasion" glassware tend to step up to Riedel Extreme/Performance or premium hand-blown options like Josephine, which run $80–$230+.
