Whew, you are over the hill now, now select other strings and balance them from this one. You will probably need to go back and forth in order to get a nice round profile:
Then when you are through perfecting the profile, duplicate the revised one in the assembly room again (of course delete the present one) . You will now have two vextex rooms, one for your original and one for the duplicate.
One thing I found out--if duplicate it in the vextex room when you go to your assembly room, the two is treated as one object even though split apart and what ever you do to one of them is done to the other including shading eg color one red the other one is red too, resize one the other resizes too. So for now use the assembly room for dups.
Annie you are doing great, when this portion is done, simply make another duplicate of it, rotate it 180 degrees and resize the height for your base.
For the stem just grab a cylinder primitive resize it and put the four pieces together, the wine, goblet, stem and base (group the wine by itself and adjust it to fit inside the goblet, then ungroup it and reduce the height.
Show me what you got at this stage.
Why group, you reduce the height, width and depth at the same time
Ungroup it again so you can change the height and not affect the rest.

One last thing Annie, your bottle of Excedrin, got enough in it? Jan
