The present invention relates to a device for holding a stemmed glass and in particular to a holder attachable to a camping style chair or other structure. The device, in one embodiment has a holder with an opening for supporting a stemmed glass. A top piece is integral with the holder and is generally coplanar therewith. A bottom piece acts as a spring. In this regard, the bottom spring piece can be separated from the top piece wherein it can clamp onto a chair arm bar or other surface (round or flat). The top piece has an arched inside surface with two parallel rails. The bottom piece has a notch therein. In a second embodiment, a wire device is provided having a holder, a first arm, a second arm, a third arm and a lever.
