A little while ago, I was contemplating what I would give my friend for his upcoming birthday. I recalled that he enjoyed drinking wine so I decided I wanted to give him something related to that. Thinking back to all the parties he has thrown in the past, I remembered how many wine glasses had been shattered during those times of heavy drinking and festivities. So I had the great idea of giving him the gift new of new glasses to drink wine from. But then I stumbled onto plastic wine glasses and I figured it might not be such a bad idea to give him these!

Shatterproof Stemless Govino Wine Glasses Gift Set Of 4 – Review

I ended up going with a bunch of plastic glasses that was actually designed to be a gift. It is a set of 4 and I got them for a very low price. They have no stem. Instead, they kind of look like glasses to drink scotch or whiskey from. But that is okay, they are also suitable for drinking wine. And that’s what we did as soon as he unwrapped them! These glasses have a little indent that makes it easier to hold them.

The make of these glasses is very thin, just like what you’d expect from real glasses that are actually made of glass. At the same time, these Govino plastic wine glasses are very strong. They are not marketed with ‘shatterproof’ without a reason. Me and my friend actually tested it. We let them fall on the ground on purpose to see what would happen. As you might expect from glasses made of plastic and not real glass, they simply bounced back. It is only when you let them drop where you notice this is not real glass. During normal usage, you will probably forget that this is synthetic material and not glass.

I have noticed that these plastic wine glasses are not made of hard plastic. They are more flexible and this is, in my opinion, a good thing. After all, real glass also has some flexibility to it. It kind of gives these glasses a genuine feel to it. A person using these glasses for the first time, will probably notice they are not real. But as soon as you’ve drunk some wine from them, you will notice their synthetic make less and less with every sip you take!
