  • Comfortable To Hold

Best Uses

  • Anytime

The best deal for the price. The look of glass for outdoor entertaining and you don't need to worry about breakage. I handwash these because hot dishwashers tend to discolor polycarbonate.

Pros

  • Difficult To Clean

Best Uses

I bought these to use on a boat (no glass, bare feet everywhere). These glasses are so sharp on the edge (lip) that i cut up my hands while washing them. They are very cheap quality, have bubble seams from the blow molds. Pay more as these should be disposables.

Not as wonderful as I thought they'd be.

 
3.0

Pros

  • Unbreakable
  • Good sizes

Cons

  • Sharp opening around rim
  • Can see some molded seams

Best Uses

  • Anytime
  • Informal Dining
  • Formal Dining

These were very pricey and I thought I wouldn't be able to see a molded seam line but I can on a few of the glasses, this makes them look plastic. Also the rim of the glasses are very sharp! I actually started to return them but I through out the boxes before we actually used them.

Pros

Cons

Best Uses

These glasses LOOK like nice wine glasses but the material is not as crystal clear as real glass. They are VERY light in your hands and they don't offer that unique feeling you get when drinking wine from a real (glass) wine glass. If that doesn't bother you, you will probably be OK with the glasses. To date they are the best option I have found for use on the patio or around the pool where broken glass cannot be tolerated. I haven't washed them enough yet to know if they will scratch easily...which is my only other concern.

Pros

  • Durable

Cons

Best Uses

  • Informal Dining

These are light and durable; I carry them in my RV. They each have an unfortunate visible seam down each side. Not a sharp seam, but a visible seam nonetheless.

Cons

Best Uses

  • Informal Dining
  • Poolside

I purchased these because we have a pool and an expansive outdoor entertaining area.We had gone through way too many broken wine glasses and I am not one that likes to drink wine out of a paper cup so I thought I would give these a try. The are perfect!! I laugh when I see the surprise on peoples faces when they pick them up and realize they are plastic! I have put them through the dishwasher and they come out perfect!! Would highly recommend them

Why they won't effect the drinking from the glasses .. the inside edges are sharp. If they could smooth them down .. these glasses would be perfect!

They are Ok

 
3.0

Pros

  • Attractive Design
  • Comfortable To Hold

Cons

  • Rim is ruff on lips

Best Uses

  • Informal Dining

The rim around the top of the glass is very ruff, I would not reccomend them for that reason. I would buy the other break proof instead since they are glass and smooth.

Nice value for price

Pros

  • Comfortable To Hold
  • Durable
  • Attractive Design

Cons

Best Uses

  • Anytime

We just built a new outside deck and were looking for nice wine glasses that were non-breakable and easy to clean, look nice. These definitely fit the bill - friends are impressed with the look and they are durable and great for use outside. We got the mixed 12-glass 4-white, 4-red-4-pinot... good value for the price.
