- STEIN
- CHALICE

The clue’s “glasses” means drinking vessels, not eyewear. Parade and Lifehacker report the same answer set, and TechRadar also identifies the date as game #734 and lists these answers: Parade, Lifehacker, and TechRadar.
How the hints point to the solution
“Cheers!” suggests a toast, and the more direct clue narrows the theme to containers for drinks. The spangram, DRINKWARE, names that category; the remaining answers are different kinds of drinking vessels, from a stein and tankard to a chalice, goblet, tumbler, and snifter.
