AIBU to still be mortified about an embarrassing moment at a friend's house?

Hi!
About a month ago I got invited to a work colleagues home with some other colleagues for some food and drinks. I was so happy to be invited as I’ve recently moved to a new area and have cliqued well with these colleagues and it’s nice to have made some new friends!
Anyway as we’re chatting, I accidentally swiped my wine glass which was next to me (I was sitting on the floor) - cue the wine glass shattering into a million pieces and wine everywhere 🙈 luckily it was white wine, at least. Some of the food had to be thrown away because of the wine and glass shards, and we all cleaned up together.
I still feel absolutely mortified! It was just a quiet gathering, and I feel like I’ve made an absolute tool of myself and like a drunk mess (I wasn’t even that drunk!)
Of course I apologised a million times and offered to replace the wine glass, and no one has treated me any differently, but it is still haunting me 😩

Is my embarrassing moment really that bad and that embarrassing? When will it stop plaguing my mind?! 😂

Not that embarrassing! If you’d have been absolutely steaming drunk and making a fool
of yourself yes, but this was obviously an accident. I’m sure your colleagues never even think about!

These things happen. Don’t beat yourself up about it.

I'm sure your friends aren't bothered by the event...try to move on
