Do I have to turn in my wine snob credentials?

[TheSmarterDog]

I've somehow managed to destroy most of my good, expensive crystal wine goblets (yeah, I admit it. I knocked them over & broke them), and I don't want to spend a couple hundred dollars to replace them yet. But I still have wine to drink.

So I broke down & got some PLASTIC wine glasses. (8 for $20!). Should I hang my head in shame?

[democratisphere]

1. Definitely! How did you get swindled out of $20.00 for 8 plastic wines?

For shame!

[TexasBushwhacker]

2. You spent too much!

You can get a 6 pack of red or white wine glasses at IKEA for $4.99.

3. No, youre just fine.

Enjoy your wine 🍷

4. Well, I probably would have headed to a dollar store

I have my good crystal wine glasses. and my every day from the Dollar Tree wine glasses. Same place that I bought my Margarita glasses and they have cute little cactus stems.

5. I use stemless wine glasses like these

Much more stable than with stems, and real glass for less than what you paid for plastic.

10. I have some stemless ones like that that are double-walled.

They're nice because the wine stays cool longer.

17. Oh, those would be nice for white wines.

I’ll look into those. Thanks!

[herding cats]

16. Same here.

I don’t care if they’re proper or not. They work with my lifestyle and in my cabinets.

[marylandblue]

20. They work with my fat fingers too.

6. You could get inexpensive glass ones

Wouldn't that be preferable to plastic?
Bed Bath & Beyond has 4 glass wine goblets for $10. https://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/store/product/libbey-reg-table-settings-classic-14-oz-white-wine-glasses-set-of-4/1015839333?categoryId=12930

That's basically the same as what you paid for plastic.

7. You know, empty glass jelly jars work just as well. nt

[Boxerfan]

8. Two Words...

Thrift Store....

Plastic & wine-yeah burn the card.

[crazycatlady]

21. +1

The Goodwill near me has so many dishes. Wine glasses included.

Much fancier too. I've seen lots of fine china and crystal there.

9. Let us know when you get a sleave of red party cups

Until then, you enjoy your wine - any way that you drink it.

[Lochloosa]

11. Mason jars work just fine for sweet tea or wine.

[Kali]

12. yes you do

any cheap glass beats overpriced plastic almost every time. possible exception is in a swimming pool, but pools are for beer and girly drinks anyway.

[Lunabell]

13. Lmao

I drink my wine out of old plastic St. Patrick's day cups. And it's from a box!

[cloudbase]

14. Just put the bottle in a paper bag and enjoy!

Through the magic of the Scott Effect, the bag somehow enhances the flavor of any wine when the bottle is placed within.

Why dirty a glass?

[Glamrock]

15. When you could a got these?

We got a mess of em. So yeah smarterdog, turn in yo card....

[herding cats]

18. If you like them, thats all that matters.

I find plastic glasses smell weird to me, so I don’t use them for anything. But, if you don’t have that issue then you’re good to go!

[WhiteTara]

19. Yes. All you need are wine glasses with no lip

you can even find them at thrift stores for a dollar...and they're glass! I just hate plastic for food and beverage. But enjoy you wine anyway you drink it!

[sl8]

22. If you're still knocking them over like skittles pins, plastic is a wise choice.

[pansypoo53219]

23. yes. foo on fancy. i use mugs only for keyboard sake. + i WILL USE ICE.

and i prefer dry port. willing to try other fortified except sherry. if i wanted grape juice, i'd get it. and i hate CA wines.
