Another Way to Create a Wine Glass

Start with a cylinder.

Select the bottom face. Use the Extrude->Normal command to pull out the face.

With the face still selected, use Scale->Uniform to shrink the face.

Deselect the face (click on the face or press the space bar). Select the upper face and shrink it using Scale->Uniform.

To round out the cup, more lines are needed. Change to Edge selection mode (press "E"). Select one horisontal edge and press "L" to select all edges around the cup.

Use Extrude->Normal to create two new edges. Do not pull out the selected edge. Just left-click to complete the extrusion.

On more horisontal edge is needed. To create it, select one vertical edge.

Use Select->Similar (or press "I") to select all other vertical edges in the upper part of the cup.

Use Connect to connect the midpoints of the selected edges, creating new horisontal edges.

Press "V" to change to Vertex selection mode. The edge selection is converted to a vertex selection. Press "V" three more times to grow the selection.

Use Tighten to round out the cup.

Clear the selection (press the space bar). Press "F" to change to Face selection mode. Select the top face. Use Intrude to make the interior of the cup hollow. To make the "glass" as thin as possible, complete the Intrude command directly by left-clicking.

Clear the selection again (press the space bar). Select the lower face of the cup and use Extrude->Normal to pull out a stem.

Extrude once more, then use Scale->Uniform to enlarge the selected face.

Extrude and scale in the same way again. The wine glass is finished.
