In those warm summer evenings, nothing is nicer than sitting out in the garden or back patio and enjoying a glass of wine with friends as you watch the sunset. Or how about taking a sunny afternoon to hike to your favourite meadow or park and spreading out on a blanket on the grass to enjoy a leisurely picnic. However, have you ever opened up your picnic basket to the crushing realization that one of your lovely glasses has cracked or broken from being bumped slightly along the way? Or how many times has one of your fashionable garden dinner parties been interrupted by one of your guests knocking over a wine glass to have it shatter on the patio stones? Glassware, while beautiful to look at, is very easily chipped, cracked, or broken. You can destroy many glasses just by not being careful when washing dishes. If you want to be able to use your glasses, without having to worry about handling them so gently, you might consider using unbreakable plastic ones with the look of glass instead.

These types of glasses are often made in a one piece mould, and consist of a plastic polycarbonate that is dishwasher safe. They can also be safely used in a microwave. This 'fake glass' looks so much like the real thing that your guests will probably have a confused look when they first pick up one of your glasses, expecting it to be heavier because they will think it is real glass. However, these are virtually unbreakable, so you can drop them, bang them, clink them, and carry them around in a picnic basket on the most strenuous hike and they will still remain in one piece!

Some people have the notion that drinking from plastic glasses is unsophisticated or not classy. However, with the elegant designs of some of these plastic cocktail, wine, HI ball, and whisky glasses, they do not look out of place in a high class home. You can get many different sizes, shapes and styles of glasses, including half and full beer pints, tumblers, shot glasses, and even pitchers. Whatever type of drink you are serving, the chances are there is an unbreakable plastic alternative to serve it in.

Plastic glassware can also be a great advantage in a commercial setting, such as a pub or nightclub where broken glass is likely to cause danger to patrons. Restaurants can also benefit from this innovation, because they will save money by not having to replace their glasses quite so frequently.

So if you are tired of sweeping up broken glass, and are seeking a lightweight, durable, and machine washable alternative, consider looking for a set of high quality plastic glasses. They have all the elegance and style, with much less fuss!
