Customer Reviews

They Still Break3
5-Stars for attractiveness and feel; 2-Stars for break resistance.

I fully understand that these glasses are break-"resistant", and not indestructible. That being said, I've handled these glasses as I would fine crystal; hand-washing only, careful storage, no extreme temperatures, etc. Two broke during hand-washing and one broke at the stem while setting it on a table. These are the kind of activities that I would expect any kind of glass to easily survive.
On the plus side: they can pass for crystal glasses costing much more and feel good in the hand.

For my next set of "Break-Resistant" wine glasses, I am trying a different brand that makes the same claim.
