Unbreakable Wine Glasses   Polycarbonate wine glasses

Until recently, plastic wine glasses had been frowned upon by the overall wine loving community. The consumer market was flooded with Low-cost plastic wine glasses that, quite simply, were not of adequate quality. They were much thinner than their traditional glass counterparts, would break easily if dropped and made of poor quality plastic. Durability was a major concern; as was the association of plastic products with inferior quality.

Plastic wine glasses have greatly improved in the last 10 years or so. Whereas previously upon closer inspection they did not closely replicate the real product, now they are almost identical, with only the keenest eye being able to tell the difference without picking a plastic glass up. Not only this, but they are cheaper due to more advanced manufacturing practices, safe for the environment and easy to clean.

Polycarbonate has recently been noted for its extreme strength and durability. Polycarbonate wine glasses, therefore, are virtually unbreakable. This special plastic material is so strong that tests with several thousand kilograms of force have failed to smash or break a single plastic wine glass. If it is strong enough for a few tonnes, imagine the duress it can be put through during everyday entertainment situations. This extreme strength represents greater economic sense for the home or bar owner; replacement glasses are a thing of the past! Not only this, but glasses that do not break ensure a safer environment in which to consume your favourite alcoholic (or non alcoholic) beverages.

Wine glasses, along with beer and plastic champagne glasses, are the most common types of polycarbonate glassware. However, other bar glasses can be purchased in polycarbonate. These include cocktail glasses, shot glasses and tumblers. From the benefits outlined above, you can see how plastic wine glasses are increasing in popularity. Whether you are a casual wine or beer drinker, a bar owner, or someone who loves entertaining outdoors, plastic glasses offer something for everyone.
