Glass, and other transparent reflective surfaces, take a long time to render. I have been experimenting with glass lately.
Yes, although we should be moving to the bar...

Not being a patient renderer, the time it took to render glassware made me try some simplifications. When testing, it would be interesting to compare models taken to an absolute minimum, a fraction of the sizes in existing models. Just to test how low it is possible to go. Not equal in quality, but superficial tests indicate renderings so much faster that it may be worth it for my purposes: a half decent result without keeping the PC busy all night. See pm. ok
