I'm afraid <Orchid> is right. I expierenced the same problem in my picture (look 
2 threads before; "ouch..") with "mesh"-glasses. The first dozend photon renders 
gave always some kind of grid like pattern or even isolated sparkles, until I 
raised the gather radius to smooth them out. But be aware, that your render time 
might get quit long by doing this.

Apart from this realy nice modells. Someone told me, that the quality of a 
wineglass is reciprocal to the thickness of its stem. So making the stem thiner 
would make it look more elegant and "expensive". ;-)
