For the neck I used a cylinder and made it taller and skinnier than the default. I lined it up with the bottom of the sphere.
The base of the glass is just a flatted cone with the tip slightly inside of the cylinder so it's hidden from view.

NURBS Model
This week's assignment was to make a NURBS model of anything we wanted. Prof Sanders said that nurbs models work best when used to model common household objects, so I decided to make a champagne glass.
It wasn't too difficult to model. I started with the top bit, which is a sphere with a 180 degree start sweep, and then rotated so the "closed half sits on the origin. Then I stretched the half-sphere to make it resemble a champagne glass.
