Best Plastic Wine Glasses for Everyday Use

With so many choices of plastic wine glasses, picking the best line can be hard, and believe me, I know! I’ve worked with restaurant-quality plastic glasses for over a decade and have tried and tested all of the top names in plastic tableware. This review compares top-rated plastic wine glass brands for everyday use. Each line offers terrific styling in a variety of sizes and shapes, plus most are crafted using virtually unbreakable, dishwasher-safe plastics.

Michley unbreakable, dishwasher-safe plastic wine glasses are a top pick, combining styling, finish, and feel that mimics fine glassware with great pricing.

The Michely collection captured the top spot in our review of the best plastic wine glasses because of its sleek styling, variety of sizes and shapes and surprisingly low prices. Michley offers a full line, with balloon-style stems for reds, slimmer tulip-style chardonnay glasses, plus all-purpose stemmed goblets, stemless wine glasses, champagne flutes, and tumblers.

Michley plastic wine glasses and coordinating plastic drinkware are crafted in BPA-free Tritan plastic, which offers glass-like clarity and is virtually unbreakable and dishwasher-safe. Tritan plastic has been a standard for the restaurant industry for years and performs wonderfully for both indoor and outdoor use at home.

Strahl/Bold plastic wine glasses offer a substantial, lead crystal-like feel and hand-polished luster.

Strahl Drinkware and I go way back. Strahl is the first plastic wine glass collection we carried when we opened up shop in 1999. Plus, I sourced it several years beforehand when I outfitted yachts!

Strahl is known worldwide for its fantastic durability, stunning crystal-like clarity, and hand-polished finish. Strahl plastic wine glasses stand out from the competition with thick-walled stemless and stemmed plastic wine glass styles with a hefty, substantial feel. Strahl also makes an assortment of unbreakable plastic tumblers and accessories like ice buckets and appetizer trays for worry-free entertaining – indoors and out.

With its substantial feel and an unmatched lustrous finish, unbreakable, dishwasher-safe Strahl drinkware is understandably pricey compared to the competition. Despite its higher price tag, Strahl has a loyal following of customers willing to pay more because it truly delivers on both durability and beauty.

Tossware is an innovative disposable/reusable/recyclable plastic drinkware line offering several glass styles plus accessories like snap-on lids and stems.

Tossware offers two sizes of sem-disposable stemless wine glasses, plus flutes, tumblers, and carafes in durable reusable/recyclable plastic. You can even add cool accessories like snap-on lids and stems to elevate your disposable sip! Tossware’s semi-disposable collection also includes trendy plastic mason jar glasses, martini glasses, beer glasses, and an assortment of tumblers.

Tossware also has a line of unbreakable, dishwasher-safe glasses, including stemless plastic wine glasses and trendy barware, all crafted in BPA-free Tritan plastic.

GoVino plastic wine glasses and tumblers are crafted in the same recyclable plastic used for water bottles. All GoVino glasses also feature a comfortable thumb indent for holding drinks securely while mingling.

GoVino offers different shapes and sizes, but not quite the variety you get with Tossware. That’s the only reason that Tossware edged out GoVino for the best plastic wine glasses in the semi-disposable category. In terms of quality and performance, you really can’t go wrong with either brand.

Admittedly, there’s not a lot of competition in this category. But a few top brands make clever plastic wine glasses designed to stack in tight spaces, so I think they deserve some love. With short-stemmed styling and compact stacking, these are simply the perfect wine glasses for tight spaces. 

US Acrylic is a US-based company that makes beautiful plastic glasses and barware, including several plastic wine glass styles. US Acrylic’s stackable plastic wine glasses are made of SAN plastic, which is dishwasher-safe and BPA-free. Wine glasses made of SAN plastic aren’t quite as unbreakable as others on our list, but they are very break-resistant.

Popular multi-purpose stemless plastic wine tumblers are made by several great brands and come in many sizes and styles.

We have a full review of the best stemless wine glasses, so we won’t go into great detail here. Suffice it to say, for the title of the best stemless plastic wine glasses for the money, many top-rated brands deliver. It really comes down to which style you prefer, since these are all proven to perform beautifully.

You’ll find many other fabulous plastic wine glass collections on Amazon and in other homeware and big-box stores. I don’t have personal experience with some newer brands (yet), but I am adding those to my testing list. I hope this review helps you sort through the huge selection out there.
