The complete guide
Plastic Stemless Wine Glasses: A Simple Buying Guide
What you get
This is a set of 4 stemless wine glasses made from clear Tritan plastic. Each glass holds 14 oz (about 415 ml). It stands about 10 cm (4 in) tall and is about 9.4 cm across.
They look like clear glass, but they are lighter and they resist the knocks that shatter glass. With no stem, there is less to snap and less to tip.
Who it suits
Stemless glasses are a relaxed, everyday choice. They suit people who want a nice glass without fussing over it.
- Deck and patio drinks, where a tall glass might get knocked.
- Pool areas, where glass is a real hazard.
- Picnics, camping and boats, since they pack down small.
- Busy kitchens and family dinners with kids at the table.
Four glasses covers a couple or a small group. For bigger gatherings, order two or more sets.
Capacity and pouring guide
Wine
For red wine, pour to about a third of the way up so there is room to swirl. For white or rosé, a slightly bigger pour is fine. Since you hold the bowl, smaller pours of chilled wine stay cool for longer.
Other drinks
These are not just for wine. Use them for juice, iced tea, sparkling water, mocktails or a cocktail over ice.
Care
- Wash them on the top rack of the dishwasher, or by hand in warm soapy water.
- Skip scourers, steel wool and abrasive pads. They leave fine scratches that dull the surface.
- A soft sponge and mild dish soap keep them clear for longer.
- Pack them so they cannot knock hard against each other in a bag or cooler.
Tritan is shatter-resistant, not indestructible. A hard enough knock can still crack a glass, so check them now and then and retire any that are damaged.
Summary
You get four clear stemless wine glasses in BPA-free Tritan plastic, 14 oz (about 415 ml) each. They sit low and steady, they are light to carry and they go on the top rack of the dishwasher. Use them for wine, cold drinks and everything in between, indoors or out.
