Best High Quality Plastic Wine Glasses

With so many choices of plastic wine glasses, picking the best line can be hard, and believe me, I know! I’ve been a professional kitchenware buyer for over a decade. This review compares top-rated plastic wine glass brands to help you spot the best for your needs.

1. Overall Best Plastic Wine Glasses: Michley

The Michely plastic wine glass collection captured the number one spot because of its sleek styling, a wide variety of bowl types and sizes, and excellent prices. Michley offers balloon-style stems for reds, slimmer tulip-style chardonnay glasses, plus stemmed all-purpose goblets, stemless plastic wine glasses, and champagne flutes.

Michley’s entire plastic drinkware line is crafted in BPA-free Tritan plastic, which is unbreakable and dishwasher-safe. Tritan plastic is fast becoming a standard for the restaurant industry and performs wonderfully in homes.

2. Best High-End Plastic Wine Glasses: Strahl

Strahl and I go way back. It’s the first line we carried when we opened up shop in back in 1999. Plus, I sourced it for years beforehand when I outfitted yachts! Strahl is known worldwide for its fantastic durability, stunning crystal-like clarity, and hand-polished finish.

Here are my top Strahl plastic wine glass picks at the best prices. Strahl offers both classic stemless and stemmed wine glass styles, plus a contemporary goblet line with thick bases that can unscrew for storing in tiny spaces in a boat galley — evidence of its maritime origins.

Strahl also offers an assortment of unbreakable plastic tumblers and accessories like ice buckets and appetizer trays for worry-free entertaining, indoors and out.

Strahl’s substantial feel and unmatched luster top the competition in most ways, so it’s understandably pricey compared to other lines on our list. Despite its higher price tag, Strahl has a loyal following of customers willing to pay more because the line truly delivers on its quality promise.

3. Best Disposable / Recyclable Plastic Wine Glasses: Tossware & GoVino

Tossware edged out GoVino as our number one pick for disposable/recyclable plastic wine glasses because of its innovative approach and variety of fun styles. Like its competitors, Tossware offers stemless plastic wine glasses, flutes, tumblers, and carafes in durable reusable and recyclable plastic, shown below.

However, unlike GoVino and similar lines, Tossware also delivers really cool add-ons and style options. You’ll find snap-on stems and lids for its plastic stemless wine glasses, plus fun drinkware designs like plastic mason jar glasses and trendy beer glass shapes. See the entire Tossware plastic drinkware collection here.

GoVino recyclable stemless plastic wine glasses are another top pick for disposable/recyclable plastic wine glasses. GoVino’s stemless plastic wine glasses are crafted in the same recyclable plastic used for water bottles and feature a very comfortable thumb indent for holding securely while mingling. GoVino is my go-to for disposable and recyclable stemless wine glasses for a party or big event.

GoVino offers different shapes and sizes, but not quite as many fun drinkware styles as Tossware.

If hand-washed, both Tossware and GoVino stemless wine glasses will last forever, too. Just don’t put them in the dishwasher — they will warp if you do.

4. Best Acrylic Wine Glasses: US Acrylic

US Acrylic is a US-based company that makes beautiful plastic drinkware and barware, including some very economical plastic wine glass options.

US Acrylic’s Blanc and Franc lines are made of acrylic and generally cost less than similar Tritan and polycarbonate wine glasses. However, they’re not dishwasher-safe like the more expensive brands on our list.

US Acrylic’s stackable plastic wine glasses are made of SAN plastic, which is dishwasher-safe and BPA-free. Plus, their handy stacking design makes them a great choice for tight storage.

5. Other Top Contenders: TaZa, Vivocci & Cruvina

These plastic drinkware collections are all crafted in unbreakable Tritan plastic and are great choices for looks and durability. All three brands offer stemless wine glasses, plus a few other drinkware styles. All hold up very well for home use as well as for restaurant, bistro, and bar service.

6. Best Commercial Plastic Drinkware: G.E.T Enterprises

On the commercial side. G.E.T products are hard to beat when it comes to variety and durability. G.E.T Enterprises is one of the world’s largest restaurant plastic tableware manufacturers, so you can be sure their plastic wine glasses will withstand anything you can throw at it at home.

G.E.T. plastic wine glasses and accessories are generally sold in the case of 6, 12, or 24 pieces, but there are some sellers on Amazon that sell in smaller amounts. Here are some of our top picks from the G.E.T plastic drinkware collection:

That’s a Wrap…

You’ll find many other fabulous plastic wine glass collections on Amazon, too. I don’t have personal experience with some newer brands (yet) but I am adding those to my testing list soon.

What I can tell you is that three newer lines of plastic wine glasses: TossWare disposable drinkware, TaZa, and Cruvina are making a name for themselves with great styling and customer reviews.

I hope this review helps you sort through the huge selection out there. Check back for updates as I uncover more plastic wine glasses to add to my SimplySmartLiving Faves & Finds.
