After careful consideration, I would call that a ‘wine glass’.

A “meh” wine glass. Skip.

It is not really a type or a brand that anyone would know, in fact these are the anti hero of glasses in the wine world where thinnest considered to be the best 😀

It’s a type of glass called “the kind that you personally like”. Ignore everybody here trying to tell you they’re no good. The first and most important part of enjoying wine is to follow what works for you.

These are just your generic wine glasses. Given it’s shape, thickness, and irregularities I would say they are probably generic wine glasses you get at stores like Target for $1-2 each.
And there’s nothing wrong with that, if you like it you like it

Working service in a fine dining restaurant, we typically called these “universals.” They’re nice because you can use them for anything. From what I’ve gathered retail doesn’t always call them that term specifically but with enough searching you can find the same shape no problem. This is one of those things where there isn’t a broadly accepted term because they’re so readily available.

Port wine glass. I disagree with all the disparaging, pretentious comments; everyone has to start somewhere, don’t let them dampen your curiosity and interest. My club’s bar has only served port in Riedel’s version of these. Port is a dessert wine: high sugar, high intensity, great colour, so they have smaller pours and smaller sips. The small glass lets you fill more than half the glass, lets drinkers hold it to mingle and chat with great intimacy. I love them too.

Tis but a vessel. There’s enough shade being cast around here. This style of glass is considered for white wine on a table. Red wine table glasses are typically more squat and rounded while still stemmed.
Glasses like so many other things have a deep rabbit hole. I’ve grown partial to basing by event type. If I’m hosting a larger gathering, like NYE I have a cache of glasses from IKEA that I won’t fret about if one happens to break. It’s all about protecting the glasses I actually like. If I’m having guests casually and/or for a tasting, think afternoon chatting around the kitchen island or outside on the deck I like Reidel for their oversize glasses that are nice for swirling and aerating. I have my favorites and they’re Waterford and strictly for family gatherings and nice romantic meals and moments with my wife.
I apologize that none of that answers the crux of your question.

It’s a perfectly servicable cheap universal glass. Drink what you want from it and it really doesn’t matter if it breaks. Upgrade if you fancy. And don’t be bullied into spending £££££ by the wine snobs.

Go to a restaurant supply store in your area and look for a 6oz wine glass. Will likely be exactly what you’re looking for.

Not throwing shade if you like the shape for aesthetic reasons alone, but your wine will taste better if you have a slightly tighter shape at the top than these more open shaped goblets. Holds in the volatile aromas a little more than the wider lip. You don’t have to get crazy into specific glasses per varietal, but do a taste test the next time you’re at a restaurant that has different types of glasses for different wines. Instantly noticeable and better glasses aren’t always that much more expensive. Restaurant supply stores are generally the best bet if you’re looking for a few of them. But this suggestion on really applies if you like wine or volatile spirits. If you’re chugging mojitos or margs from them, enjoy!

Two names, either “1980s residential” or “Strip mall restaurant” wine glass. (For the record, that’s what my parents in their mid 80s have….since I can remember!
They fit well in the dishwasher

I call these “Libby glasses” even if they aren’t Libby brand.

Well go get them if You like them, but they will be bad in sensoric sense.
That said I have some beutifull glass, that are sonsoric nightmare. I love them, and I love to use them to show people difference of armoas in good and bad sensoric glass.
If You are intersted in geting more intow wine geeky way (and only if You are) You should buy some better glasses (sensoric-wise). Is this gatekeeping? Absolutely no, You don’t have to buy Ridels. On my own example – would I love to drink from Riedel Veritas Champagne? Of course. Would fear that I will brake good-bottle-worth of glass by accident destroy my wine experience. Absolutely.
Don’t listen to people who say that “good sensoric glass” is gatekeeping, but don’t listen to those that say You need expensive wine. Here where I live I bought great glasses, suggested by one of locacl WSET dipl for 33$ for 6 pcs tax included. I’m pretty sure that everywhere in the world, You are able to find some good glasses for less than 6-7$ per pc.
But then again, it’s only important if You want to get geeky about wine. If You just want to enjoy Your afternoon wine in glass You love go for it. There is no wrong way to drink wine, unless You are not jeopardising Your health.

I’ve always heard them called Dixie cups derisively in restaurants.

That is called an emergency.
They call it this because it is empty and needs to be refilled as soon as possible.

I’m old AF and had thick, small crystal glasses that way back I loved drinking out of. Discovered thin, large wine glasses way back and never went back. Do yourself a favor and try something thinner and larger especially it is a better wine. Not throwing shade.
