Ultimately sound is the result of something pushing air back and forth. These pressure/displacement disturbances travel to your ear drum and cause you ear drum to vibrate at the same frequency as the object that disturbed the air in the first place did.

In the case of a glass breaking, at moment the glass, say hits the floor, the entire glass would vibrate for a very short moment. After it breaks into pieces, the individual pieces would begin to vibrate at their higher natural frequencies. All these vibrations eventually find their way to your ears by way of the air. Also, it means it's time to buy a new glass.

What frequency does a wine glass break?

The answer is "it's own resonant frequency".. this frequency is dependent on how the glass is made. You can hear this frequency when you rim the glass with a wet finger or smack it with a pen. If you want to break it, place the glass next to a nice speaker, generate a sine-wave tone matching the resonant frequency, and turn it up to 11.
