Help modelling smashing glass

Hi there,
I need some help on a project I’ve just started working on which involves a wine glass full of wine being smashed on a table. I am only looking to make a still image, but I am finding it a bit of a challenge modelling the glass in the process of breaking. I have played around with the “fracture” add-on, but it always seems to either crash blender or not do anything when I press execute (this is apparent with any object no matter how many polys). Can anybody give me some help? Thanks in advance.

Perhaps this will give you some guidance on the glass shards.

And to spill the wine the fluid simulator comes in handy:
